Figure 9-11. Text at tab stop
Just as for horizontal tabs, vertical tab settings are absolute: they do
not change when you change the size of a space. For example, suppose
you want to add to this form a graphics logo that uses special line
spacing. If you forget to return to 12-dot spacing before the FX prints
the next text after the logo, the line spacing will go awry-but each
tab stop will remain the same distance from the top of form.
See that the tab stops are absolute by adding these two lines to your
program:
25 LPRINT CHR$(27)"A"CHR$(4)
250 LPRINT CHR$(27)"@"
Line 25 changes the line spacing from 12/72-inch to 4/72-inch; line 250
125
