When the Origin Mode is set (on):
•
Line numbering begins with line 1 at the top of the scrolling region and continues through
the bottom of the scrolling region.
•
The cursor cannot be moved out of the scrolling region.
•
The Erase in Display and Region commands affects the scrolling region.
•
The cursor is moved to the home position relative to the scrolling region. The home position
is the upper-left character position within the scrolling region.
When the Origin Mode is set, the scrolling region can, in effect, become a smaller independent
screen within the entire screen. Host software can treat the scrolling region as an independent
screen without regard for those areas outside of the region. This technique is useful when the
host software operating within the scrolling region may not be aware of touch targets drawn
above or below the region. Since erasure and Region commands cannot extend out of the
scrolling region, any data or targets previously placed outside the region cannot be modified
(unless Origin Mode is explicitly reset).
