SCO top-level constant

String const SCO

Select Character Orientation.

Representation: CSI s \x20 \x65

Parameter default value: s = 0

SCO is used to establish the amount of rotation of the graphic characters following in the data stream. The established value remains in effect until the next occurrence of SCO in the data stream.

The parameter values are:

  • 0 - 0°
  • 1 - 45°
  • 2 - 90°
  • 3 - 135°
  • 4 - 180°
  • 5 - 225°
  • 6 - 270°
  • 7 - 315°

Rotation is positive, i.e. counter-clockwise and applies to the normal presentation of the graphic characters along the character path. The centre of rotation of the affected graphic characters is not defined by Standard.

Implementation

const String SCO = ' e';
