- What is a picture without a frame? The frame doesn't add or detract from the
- picture because it usually has no beauty of its own. The purpose of a frame is
- to give the picture perspective.
- Think of a computer screen as a picture. These 16 frames offered in this
- program are intended to enhance menus, help boxes, graphic presentation of
- text material, etc.
- The first four frames are straight forward LINE presentations, such as one
- would see in most programming for a box presentation. Things really start to
- move with Frame 5, which incorporates the LINE and FOR-NEXT loop facets of
- GWBASIC. Various combinations of the same principal can be used to enhance the
- movement as can be seen in Frames 10 through 14.
- Frame 15 incorporates a principal picked up from HANDHELD BASIC, which was used
- for the Tandy 600. It is a different style of doing boxes with LINE. Frame 16
- returns us to a simple presentation of a box in CHR$(36). Any of the visible
- ASCII chracters can be substituted.
- The size of the frames can be changed by the user of the program. Screen 2 was
- used to present the frames because they looked better than they did in Screen
- 1.
- Users are free to use any of the frame designs in their own programs.
- GWFRAMES.BAS is a public domain program.
