Drawing Statements for Textual Regions

Scroll Prev Top Next More

Except for the move statement, none of the drawing statements used for graphical objects can be used for textual regions, because they use the X Y coordinate system. The drawing statements described in this section can be used only to modify a textual region. They move the text cursor, insert or overwrite text, select text segments and blocks, and otherwise manipulate text when you compile the program. If you specify one of these statements in the contents of a graphical object, the drawing statement will not be executed and an error message will be generated.
