Graph ics DataThe last part of the graphics statement contains numeric data thattells the printer to print dots at specific positions in each column.It is easiest to layout your image on graph paper, filling in thesquares where you want a dot to appear. (If you want to use higherdensity graphics, keep in mind that the columns will overlap, andremember any restrictions that may apply.) Then divide the image into strips of eight rows. Each row will be programmed as a separateLPRINT statement.Each position in the column has a numeric value as shown in thetable below. Simply add the values of the column positions whereyou want dots to appear, then enter the total in your LPRINTstatement.IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH BINARY NUMBERS: Each column is represented by an 8-bitbinary number. A dot represents a "1" and a space is "0"; the top dot is the MSB (mostSignificant bit) and the bottom dot is the LSB (least significant bit). The bit positions are shownin the table for reference. You can use the ASCII code chart in Appendix 0 as a conversiontable.65
