8.6 Bar Graphs and Special Characters
The commands in this section are used to define and display bar graphs and special characters.
Table 26: Bar Graphs and Special Characters
Command Syntax Notes
Initialize thick vertical bar
graph
FE 76
254 118
254 ’v’
Initializes the user character set to
make wide vertical bar graphs.
Initialize thin vertical bar
graph
FE 73
254 115
254 ’s’
Initializes the user character set to
make narrow vertical bar graphs.
Initialize medium digits FE 6D
254 109
254 ’m’
Initializes the character set to make
medium digits.
Initialize horizontal bar
graph
FE 68
254 104
254 ’h’
Initializes the user character set to
make horizontal bar graphs.
Define custom character FE 4E [c][8 bytes] 254 78
[c][8 bytes] 254 ’N’ [c][8
bytes]
Defines one of 8 custom "user" char-
acters. Character number is [c] be-
tween 0x00 and 0x07.
Draw vertical bar graph FE 3D [col][length] 254
61 [col][length] 254 ’=’
[col][length]
Draws a vertical bar graph at column
[col] of length [length]. Length is
measured in pixels (0x00 to 0x14).
User must first use the ’v’ or ’s’
command to initialize characters.
Draw horizontal bar graph FE 7C [c][r][d][length ]
254 124 [c][r][d][length]
254 ’|’ [c][r][d][length]
Draws a horizontal bar graph start-
ing at column [c] on row [r] with di-
rection [d] (0 is right, 1 is left) of
length [length]. Length is measured
in pixels (0x00 to 0x64 if starting in
column 1). User must first use the
’h’ command to initialize characters.
