SYMBOLuses a two-dimensional two-column or three-column array to plot a User-defined symbol. They are created with moves and draws in theLABELfont coordinate system, an area nine units wide and fifteen units high. UnlikeLABEL,SYMBOLallows coordinates outside the character cell.
The symbol is drawn using the current pen control and line type and will be clipped at the clip boundary. A move is always done to the first point and the current pen position is left at the last X,Y position specified in the array and is not updated to the next character position. TheCSIZE,LDIRandLORGstatements affect theSYMBOLstatement.
SeePLOTfor an explanation ofFILL,EDGE, and array operations supported bySYMBOL. See theUsers Guidefor more information about theSYMBOLcoordinate system.
BackPorting to HP BASIC:
LORG5 moves the symbol origin from (0,0) to (5,8). In HP BASIC it moves the origin to (4.5,7.5).
