SP_SL_FILL
SL_FILL()
Short:
------
SL_FILL() Fills a rectangle with shading or a pattern.
Returns:
--------
cCode => control string to send to the printer
Syntax:
-------
SL_FILL(nTop,nLeft,nBottom,nRight,[cShade],[cFill],[nCpi],[nLpi])
Description:
------------
Fills a rectangle based on rows and columns at
<nTop,nLeft> to <nBottom,nRight>. The area may be shaded
[cShade] or filled with a pattern [cFill] :
The shading percentages are (default "20") :
"1 thru 2" = 2% shade
"3 thru 10" = 10% shade
"11 thru 20" = 20% shade
"21 thru 35" = 30% shade
"36 thru 55" = 45% shade
"56 thru 80" = 70% shade
"81 thru 99" = 90% shade
"100" = 100% shade
The pattern fills are (default "6"):
"1" = horizontal lines
"2" = vertical lines
"3" = diagonal lines top right to bottom left
"4" = diagonal lines top left to bottom right
"5" = #1 and # 2 combined
"6" = #3 and # 4 combined
<nCpi> is the characters per inch, and defaults to
10. <nLpi> is the lines per inch, and defaults to 6.
Examples:
---------
SL_FILL(10,10,20,20,"50")
// fills from 10,10 to 20 20 with 50% shading
Notes:
-------
Does not send anything to the printer - instead
returns a control string that you send to the printer. String can be
sent with ? or ?? or QOUT() or QQOUT().

------
SL_BOX() Draws a box line from row,col to endrow,endcol
Returns:
--------
cCode => control string to send to the printer
Syntax:
-------
SL_BOX(nTop,nLeft,nBottom,nRight,[cShade],[nDPIThick],[nCpi],[nLpi])
Description:
------------

[nDPIThick] is the thickness in DotsPerInch of the
line. Default is 2.
[nCpi] is the characters per inch, and defaults to 10.
[nLpi] is the lines per inch, and defaults to 6.
Examples:
