Syntax

HPOS=columns

columns
specifies the number of columns in the graphics output area, which is equivalent to the number of hardware characters that can be displayed horizontally. Specifying HPOS=0 causes the device driver to use the default hardware character cell width for the device.

Details

The HPOS= graphics option overrides the values of the LCOLS or PCOLS device parameters and temporarily sets the number of columns in the graphics output area. HPOS= does not affect the width of the graphics output area but merely divides it into columns. Therefore, you can use HPOS= to control cell width.

The values specified in the HPOS= and VPOS= graphics options determine the size of a character cell for the graphics output area and consequently the size of many graphics elements, such as hardware text. The larger the size of the HPOS= and VPOS= values, the smaller the size of each character cell.

See Procedure Output and the Graphics Output Area for more information.
