Title: Locomotive BASIC - Vektorschrift by Joachim Glaubrecht
Post by: ComSoft6128 on 05:54, 30 October 21

Type-in from the August 1986 issue of the German magazine 'Happy Computer'.

From Happy Computer:


"The CPC learns to write

Have you ever seen a plotter put writing on paper? Let your Schneider computer demonstrate it to you on the screen.

You use the routine »vector font« from your own programs by transferring the text through the variable »TEXT $« and calling the vector program with »GOSUB 190«. TEXT $ must be structured as follows:

XXXYYYHHHBBBFF TEXT
XXX: X position (0 to 640)
YYY; Y position (0 to 400)
HHH; Height of the letters (1 to 100)
BBB; Width of the letters (1 to 100)
FF: Color of the letters (0 to 15)
TEXT: Zn printed text (capital letters)"
