For PostScript and VPS pages any font can automatically be reversed and therefore you may
specify any font known to the HIP file.
AFP and Metacode fonts cannot be reversed automatically and customized reversed fonts are
normally created where required. In such fonts each character raster must extend to the
maximum ascender and descender of the font otherwise this function will not work properly;
a symptom of this would be white bars appearing between characters. Refer to your DOC1
supplier for more information regarding the use of reversed fonts for AFP and Metacode.
Example =SCPP 001.000 001.000;;

SBTR – Set Boxed Text Right Justified
Purpose Creates a right justified 'white' text element centered in a box.
Syntax =SBTR•font •width •height •margin •content ;;
Parameters font text; the name by which a font resource is identified within the HIP
file(s) assigned to the current PCE job. If the name is specified as
a quoted string it may be any length. If not it must be 8 characters
padded with spaces if necessary
width
CE measurement; the width (X direction) of the box
height CE measurement; the height (Y direction) of the box
margin CE measurement; the amount content is offset from the right
side of the box
content text; the string to be included in the box. This can contain references
to PCE variables using the %@ introducer if required.
Effects
A command is inserted into the current page to draw a box of width x height dimensions with
solid fill. Its top left corner is determined by the last SCPP command to be processed. The fill
color will be the color specified in the last COLR command to be processed or black if no
such command has been encountered.
Comments
content will presented using the selected font and will be right justified within the box offset by
margin. The text has no color and will show as the current paper color unless it overlays other
elements. No wrapping of text occurs: if the font height is greater than the box height, or if the
text width is greater than the box width, the text will extend beyond the boundaries of the
box.
For PostScript and VPS pages any font can automatically be reversed and therefore you may
specify any font known to the HIP file.
