Picture Block Creation Commands

The picture block creation commands allow you to control the position on the page, size, angle, display of the picture, and the name of the graphics file to be imported.

{PICTBLOCK=across,down,width,depth,angle,shape,flag, [filename]}

where across, down, width, and depth are expressed in the current unit of measurement and represent the position and size of the picture block on the current page.
Angle is measured in tenths of a degree and defines the angle of rotation, based on the geometric center of the picture block.
Shape defines one of the geometric shapes for picture blocks available in Sahafi in the Specifications command in the Object menu. See the table below for the number that represents the desired shape.
Flag determines whether the imported graphic file is displayed on the screen in Sahafi or not. When Flag is set to 0, the picture is displayed. When Flag is set to 1, the picture is not displayed. The image will print, however, at either setting.

Example: {PICTBLOCK=3.25,.5,2.5,7.5,45,0,1,Baskets}
Creates a picture block starting at 3.25 inches from the left side of the page and .5 inches from the top. The block is 2.5 inches wide and 7.5 inches deep. The picture block is rotated 45 degrees, the shape is a rectangle, and the image is not displayed on the screen. The contents of the file "Baskets" are placed in the picture block.
{SCALEACROSS=nn}
{SCALEDOWN=nn}

Horizontally and vertically scales all subsequently created picture blocks by the specified percentage.
Example: {SCALEACROSS=50}
Example: {SCALEDOWN=50}
Horizontally and vertically scales the picture block by 50%.
