Offset Tag
The Offset tag adds a value to a number value in a variable. Usage
Use the Offset tag to perform (positive or negative) offset variable calculations. Offset can be used with SetX and SetY to position the printer head. Special variable names _X and _Y are reserved variables which indicate the current x and y coordinates of the printer head position. These variable names can be used to offset current printer head coordinates by a specified number value. Syntax
<TAG:Offset variable="VARIABLE NAME" offset="NUMBER VALUE">

|
TAG:Offset |
(Required) Applet tag indicator. |
variable |
(Required) Name of the variable to be offset. _X and _Y can be used to offset the current printer head position. |
offset |
(Required) Number value with which to offset the variable. This can be a positive or negative value. |
Example
The following examples yield the same result. The examples place the printer head position at (+40,-40) from the current head position (_X, _Y). If the current printer head is (100,50), then this means that the new printer head position is (140,10): <TAG:GetX variable="posx"> <TAG:GetY variable="posy"> <TAG:Offset variable="posx" offset="40"> <TAG:Offset variable="posy" offset="-40"> <TAG:SetX x="<variable>posx"> <TAG:SetY y="<variable>posy"> <TAG:Offset variable="_X" offset="40"> <TAG:Offset variable="_Y" offset="-40">
