HPIIISi TWINAX CARD
7.6 The Card’s Proprietary Graphics Language
The HPIIISi Twinax Card understands a proprietary graphics language
(we’ll refer to it as “the GL” for short). By using this graphics language,
you can print graphical elements and charts. The GL is independent of
the Card’s other features, such as internally generated bar codes or font-
change commands. This means that if a font-change command is followed
by a GL command to rotate text, the text would print in the specified font.
The GL is also independent of regular text data. This allows text data to be
overlaid by a graphical element, such as a shaded box.
