7265 Programmer’s Manual 70Copyright © 2004 TallyGenicom Chapter 4 ANSI OversizedOversized Character Dimensions - 270oThe width of a character cell is 0.6 decipoints times the horizontalexpansion factor. Width means the dimension that is left-to-right as you read the character.The height of a character cell is 1.08 decipoints times the verticalexpansion factor. Height means the dimension that is vertical as you read the character.Figure 4-4 Sideways Character DimensionsThe distance from the top of the character cell to the baseline is 0.76decipoints times the vertical expansion factor. Top-of-cell means the upper boundary of thecharacter cell as you read the character.When printing strings of sideways characters, the printer adds horizontal space betweencharacter cells. This space is equal to 0.36 decipoints times the vertical expansion factor.Vertical Position-Relative in OversizedNormally, the origin of a vertical position-relative move is the current position. If the last objectprinted on the current line was an oversized character, however, then the origin of a verticalposition-relative move is the top of that character cell, where top-of-cell means the character cellboundary that is uppermost on the paper. This is true whether or not you are still in oversizedwhen the vertical position-relative command is sent.
