A QEdit Tip from the SemWare Technical Support Staff
.. QEdit's Line/Box Drawing ..
Do you want to spice up your memos? Do you want to draw boxes
around text to emphasize it? Then QEdit's Line/Box drawing
feature is for YOU! Give emphasis to your documents without the
need to use a drawing program. It's simple and easy to use!
QEdit v2.15 contains two line drawing commands. These are
described below along with the default key combination for each.
ToggleBoxDraw <Shift F1> - this mode of operation can be
switched ON or OFF. In the ON position, the cursor movement
keys (up, down, right, and left) can be used to "draw" lines
in the text. To switch Line/Box Drawing mode ON, enter
<Shift F1>. To switch it OFF, enter <Shift F1> again.
ToggleBoxType <Alt F1> - this command prompts the user to select
from various line drawing styles for use in the Line/Box
Drawing mode. The selectable options are: single, double
top, double side, double, and eraser.
The status line indicates when the line/box drawing mode is on.
The letter 'B' is displayed on the status line whenever line/box
drawing mode is selected.
To print the lines/boxes you have drawn in your text file, first
set your printer to use the IBM graphics character set. Then
use any of QEdit's printing options.
