Syntax: TXDOTBOX(<expN1>,<expN2>,<expN3>,<expN4>,[<expN5>],
[<expN6>],[<expN7>])
Purpose: Prints a single or double lined box using dots as
x and y coordinates. A dot is the smallest
printable unit. One dot equals 1/300th of an inch.
The number of dots printed per inch is referred to
as the printer's resolution. The border thickness
is set by <expN7>. The box may be shaded using a
graybar.
Arguments: <expN1> is the upper x coordinate of the box.
<expN2> is the upper y coordinate of the box.
<expN3> is the width of the box in dots
<expN4> is the height of the box in dots
<expN5> is the border option.
1 = single line border
2 = double line border
<expN6> is the percent of shading to fill the box.
If omitted, the box will not be shaded. Valid
values are 1 - 100.
<expN7> is the thickness of the border in dots. Do
not use with double line border.
Returns: 0 Successful
1 Invalid number of parameters
2 Only 1 parameter passed
3 Only 2 parameters passed
4 Only 3 parameters passed
5 <expN1> x parameter not numeric
6 <expN2> y parameter not numeric
7 <expN3> width parameter not numeric
8 <expN4> height parameter not numeric
9 <expN5> border parameter not numeric
10 <expN6> shading percent not numeric
11 <expN6> shading percent > 100
12 <expN7> border weight parameter not numeric
Usage: TXDOTBOX() is useful anytime you need to print a
box using x and y dots as coordinates. TXDOTBOX()
is much more exact than TXCOLBOX(). It also can be
more exasperating. 300 dots equal 1 inch.
