PRPOS (PP), cont.
The insertion point must be selected so the field in question will fit inside
the print window. This implies that the print direction, the size of the field
including “invisible” parts of for example an image, the alignment, and
other formatting instructions must be considered. A field that does not fit
entirely inside the print window will cause Error 1003, “Field out of label”,
except when a CLIP ON statement is issued.
To find out the present insertion point, use the PRSTAT function.
Examples Programming and printing a line of text:
10 FONT "Swiss 721 BT"
20 PRPOS 30,200
30 PRTXT "HELLO"
40 PRINTFEED
RUN
Each text line is normally positioned separately by is own PRPOS statement.
If no position is given for a printable statement, it will be printed
immediately after the preceding printable statement.
10 FONT "Swiss 721 BT"
20 PRPOS 30,200
30 PRTXT "SUMMER"
40 PRTXT "TIME"
50 PRINTFEED
RUN
yields a label with the text:
SUMMERTIME
A program for fixed line-spacing of text may be composed this way
(another way is to use the extended PRBOX statement):
10 FONT"Swiss 721 BT"
20 X%=30:Y%=500
30 INPUT A$
40 PRPOS X%,Y%
50 PRTXT A$
60 Y%=Y%-50
70 IF Y%>=50 GOTO 30
80 PRINTFEED
90 END
RUN
Enter the text for each line after the question mark shown on the screen
of the host. The Y-coordinate will be decremented by 50 dots for each
new line until it reaches the value 50, which means that ten lines will be
printed.
