PRESCRIBE Command Reference PDIR - set Print DIRection Format PDIR angle; Parameter angle: angle in degrees; in 90° increments in a counterclockwise direction 0 = portrait 90 = landscape 180 = reverse portrait 270 = reverse landscape Function The PDIR command rotates the coordinates of the logical page by the degree represented by the value of the angle which orients the page in one of four directions. It does not change the current page orientation. When the print direction is changed by the PDIR command, the logical page coordinate system is transformed so the margins maintain the same printable area (the area enclosed by the margins) as shown on next page. The current position uses the same coordinate values as the previous print direction; line-spacing, and the character-spacing of the current font are effected by the new print direction as are the raster and pattern graphics. Scalable fonts should be used for printed text in different page directions. The PDIR command rotates only the coordinates of the logical page on the current page orientation and does not affect the current page orientation. A bitmap font prints text according to the current page orientation (it adheres to the current font mode). The PDIR command does not cause a page break, so you can print text in four different directions on the same page as shown in the sample file on the next page. 190
