LB - Character plot 

LB [ cs ]  < terminator > [;] 

cs : character string 

 

Plots character strings,  numerical expressions, variables etc. 

 

Plotting is performed whether the pen is up or down. 

 

After plotting,  the cursor moves to the position of the next character.

DI - Absolute direction 

DI [ run, rise ] [;] 

run : X direction component 
rise : Y direction component 

 

Specifies the character plot direction. 

 

Values for the run and rise are clamped real numbers. 

 

The instruction is ignored when the values for both run and rise are 0. 

 

When the parameter field is omitted,  the default value (horizontal direction) is used.
