Syntax PRBOX|PX,,
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
is the height of the box in dots (max. 6000).
is the width of the box in dots (max. 6000).
is the line weight in dots (max. 6000).
Remarks A box will be drawn with its anchor point (see ALIGN) at the insertion point,
as specified by the nearest preceding PRPOS statement. A box can be aligned
left, right or centre along its baseline.
The print direction specifies how the box is rotated in relation to its anchor
point. The baseline is in parallel with text lines in the selected print direction.
The height of the box goes the same way as the height of characters and bar
codes in the selected print direction.
The line weight (i.e. the thickness of the line) grows inward from the anchor
point, i.e. the heavier the line, the less white area inside the box. Thus, it is
possible to create a black field using a box with very heavy lines. The white
area inside a box can be used for printing. Boxes, lines and text may cross.
