Using boxes
You may draw boxes with a single BOX command or construct them
with commands on a line-by-line basis.
Note: Using the BOX command can have a negative aspect when
a single command is used to specify a box that is adjoined to another
box by a single side. When two BOX commands are issued in this
manner, one line of a box is superimposed over another along the
adjoined side. Since two lines are drawn between the same pair of
coordinates, a line density problem may occur.
When to use the BOX command To avoid this situation, use the BOX command only for the following
conditions when designing a form:
•
When the box is fully isolated from any other lines
•
When the line type of a box is different from any other lines that
share its boundaries (for example, a SOLID 2 box sharing a
small portion of a SOLID 1 edge, as shown in figure 5-4).
A SOLID 2 box sharing a small portion of a SOLID 1 edge is shown
in figure 5-4.

Text in boxes
When text is entered for placement within a box, the system attempts
to determine whether the given text exceeds the largest font size that
can fit within the boundaries of the box. If FDL computations indicate
that the entered text may not fit within the box, the following error
message is displayed:
TEXT WILL NOT FIT IN THE BOX
The system checks both the horizontal and vertical directions of the
box. If an error is detected in either or both directions, an attempt is
made to indicate an approximate value for the largest font.
