The program will ask
Y-LENGTH, INTERVAL:
Enter the length of lines in the y direction (along the drum)
and the distance between lines, separated by commas. The
program will then ask
X-LENGTH, INTERVAL:
This is the same question, but for the x-direction.
will then ask for a pen number.
The program
Try 20,.125 for y and 4,.125 for x to start.
CHARS:
______
draws character sets.
The program will ask
ALPHABET:
Enter the name of any alphabet described in Volume
11.
SANSERIF.1 is a good choice. (Be sure to use uppercase). It
will then ask
LETTERING SIZE:
This is the size of the characters, in inches.
Use a number
<=.25 or so; .15 or .2 is a good choice. The program will then
ask for a pen number, as for the other tests.
POLY:
_____
draws sets of concentric polygons.
The program will ask
LARGEST & SMALLEST RADII, INCREMENT:
Enter the radii of the largest and smallest polygons in each set
of concentric polygons and the increment in radius between
successive ones.
(For example, if 2.,1.,1. is entered, each
set will have a polygon with a radius of 1 inch inside a 2 inch
one.) The program will then ask
SIDES (<0 FOR PCIRC):
Enter the number of sides in each polygon. A large number of
sides will cause the polygons to look like circles (this is a
reasonable test).
If you enter a number less than 0, a circle
will be drawn using very fine steps. Finally, the program will
ask which pen to use.
You might try 3.,1.,.5 for the radii and increment, and 5 for
the number of sides (pentagons), or perhaps 200 (near circles).
For each repetition, the program will plot as
polygons or circles across the drum as will fit.
STAR:
_____
many
sets
of
draws a group of lines which intersect in a single point.
