GRAPHIC VERT-LINE

Note:

This command may be discontinued in a future release. We highly recommend that you no longer use this command. To take advantage of newer Production Reporting functionality, use the DRAW command.

Function

Draws a vertical line.

Syntax

GRAPHIC ({line_int_lit|_var},{column_int_lit|_var},
{length_int_lit|_var}) VERT-LINE [rule_width_int_lit|_var]

Arguments

rule_width

The default rule width is 2 decipoints.

Description

Draws a vertical line from the location specified for the length (in lines) specified. Vertical lines are drawn just below the base line of the line position specified to just below the base line of the line reached by the length specified. To draw a vertical line next to a word printed on line 27, position the vertical line to begin on line 26, for a length of 1 line.

After GRAPHIC commands execute, Production Reporting changes the current print location to the starting location of the graphic. (This is different than the way the PRINT command works.)

Examples

graphic (1,27,54) vert-line! Draw lines between columns
graphic (1,52,54) vert-line
graphic (3,+2,4) vert-line 6! Red line the paragraph
