October 1, 1979 FORMATTING EDIT CODES
draw BOX
!-B-
!-B- draw box ___________________
This code will draw a box with the upper-left corner positioned
at the current column position, on the current line.
!-B[<width>][,<depth>]-
PARAMETERS __________
• Both <width> and <depth> must be greater than one.
• If either parameter is omitted, its value will be the same as
that of the previous box. If no box has previously been
specified, an error will occur (represented by a long string of
dashes).
NOTES _____
• No format code may be concatenated after a box code (using the
semi-colon, ";"). However, if a full specification is given
(including the exclamation point, "!"), a format code is
allowed.
• This code acts like a conditional page code (!-K-) in that a
box may not be split over a page.
• A tab code preceeding a box code which forces a new page will
be ignored (i.e., the box will be left justified). To allow
for this, the user should precede the box and tab codes with a
separate conditional page code.
• A box starts drawing at the last tab position (therefore
multiple boxes on a line must be drawn with a !+GRID+ code).
• Complicated sketches within boxes and other diagrams can be
drawn using the !+GRID+ alter code.
