As you can see in this program, double-width is another of the
modes with an ESCape code that uses a letter with the numeral one to
turn on the mode and a letter with the numeral zero to turn it off.
Therefore, the command to turn on double-width is ESCape “W1”
and the command to turn it off is ESCape
"W0".
10 LPRINT "This is standard pica."
20 LPRINT CHR$(27)"W1";"Double-width pica"
30
LPRINT "Still double-width"
40
LPRINT CHR$(27)"W0";
50 LPRINT "This is standard pica again."
This is standard pica.
Double-width
pica
Still double-width
This is standard pica again.
Double-width can also be combined with any of the three basic
widths as you can see in the program below.
20 LPRINT CHR$(27)"W1";"Double-width pica"
30
LPRINT CHR$(27)"M";"Double-width elite"
40 LPRINT CHR$(27)"g";"Double-width fifteen"
Double-width
pica
Double-width elite
Double-width fifteen
A later section in the chapter explains a special ESCape code, Mas-
ter Select, which allows you to control nine modes with only one
ESCape sequence.
Condensed printing
Condensed is a mode that narrows pica or elite characters; the
fifteen mode cannot be condensed. Condensed is turned on by ASCII
15, as you can see in the following program. It is turned off by ASCII
18.
10 LPRINT "This is standard pica."
20 LPRINT CHR$(15)"This is condensed pica."
30
LPRINT CHR$(27) M
"
";"This
is condensed elite."
40 LPRINT CHR$( 27) “@"
