466 Appendix A Command Reference
PAGE
draw PAGE of repeating characters
Class Custom image primitive
Description Fills a rectangular area (page or block) with a character that repeats horizontally and
vertically. The color parameter sets the color used to draw the character. The width and
height parameters determine the size of the block to be filled. The x and y parameters
determine the top left corner of the block. The font parameter selects which font is used to
draw the character. The character parameter selects a specific character (by number). For
full alphanumeric fonts, the character number is the same as the character's ASCII code
number. The spacing between the characters is fixed by the character block size in the
font and cannot be changed. Partial characters are not drawn to completely fill the
rectangular area; rather, the largest possible block of full characters is centered in the
rectangular area.
