OVERVIEW GridForm is a program that prints custom ruled forms on an HP LaserJet compatible laser printer -- you control the outer limits, the horizontal, the vertical, and what is printed in four dimensions. GridForm will run on any computer system that operates using DOS 2.x or higher, and has 256k of memory and a color monitor. The program is small (under 12k),fast (written in 8086/8088 assembly language), and easy to use. Parameters controlling both dimensions are adjusted with just a few keystrokes. All of the information for printing a form is entered from the keyboard and stored in a "Template". You may construct up to 240 different templates -- each describing a different format. The templates are stored in a data file (GRIDFORM.TPL) which is created the first time the program is run on the current directory. A new or modified file is automatically written to disk (requires up to 10k of disk space). GridForm uses 80x25 text displays for template selection, menus, and data entry functions. The top line shows the system name and version number and the current time and date. Line two shows the number and name of the active Template. The middle part of the screen displays the current values on file for the active template. The bottom two lines, the "Dialog Box", carry the instructions for pressing a key or entering the other information, accept input from the keyboard, and display error messages. The same display is used for all menus. The highlighting on the display and the instructions in the dialog box change according to the specific function menu. In this manual a letter inside angle brackets is used to indicate a single key press. The entry prompts use the following terminology. "Press" means you need press only a single key, either a letter or a number. The key list refers to the highlighted characters in the window display. The Shift Key should not be held down. If you press a key not listed in the instruction, an error message will be displayed and you will be taken back to the prompt. "Return" refers to a key that may be labeled RET, ENTER, or with the symbol <--' on your keyboard. "Enter" means you are expected to either type a number or a new character type entry. Use the backspace key to make corrections. Press the Return key when you have completed your entry. When entering, pressing Return alone causes no change to be made. Entering a 0 (zero) causes that value to be stored where appropriate. 2 GridForm Version 1.0 ====================================================================== 1.1 STARTING GRIDFORM The GridForm distribution diskette contains this manual and the program which can be run directly on diskette or copied to a hard disk. GridForm reads and writes the data file on the current default drive and directory -- a new file will be created if needed. The program itself may be resident on any directory as long as DOS can find it or you include the pathname in the command line. To start GridForm you must log on to the drive and directory where the GridForm data file is to be stored and, at the DOS prompt, enter the command GRIDFORM GridForm "beeps" when keyboard input is required. You may run the program in a "Quiet" mode (no beeps) by entering GRIDFORM /Q To just send a formfeed (0CH) to the printer enter GRIDFORM /F 1.2 SELECT A TEMPLATE This function will be invoked automatically when you start GridForm and may also be accessed by pressing <S> at the Main Menu display. The first display prompts you to select a template, for example: ____________________________________________________________________ / \ GridForm 15:25:59 9/07/91 Template 1/ 1 _____________________________________________________________________ Template List 1. Linear Inch Grid _____________________________________________________________________ End of Template list -- enter a + sign or a number or Return \___________________________________________________________________/ Note: The initial file contains only one template. PART 5. contains a series of exercises that will help you add others. A numbered list of the template names in the file is displayed. If the list is too long to fit on one display, you will be prompted to enter a question mark to see succeeding pages. Type the number of the template you want to work with, then press Return. If you press Return without typing a number, the current Template remains active. To create a new template, enter a "+" sign. If there is room (maximum 240), the current template will be copied to the next available template number and the template name will have the first six characters replaced with "COPY- ". GridForm Version 1.0 3 ====================================================================== 1.3 THE MAIN MENU The selected, or newly created, template becomes the active template The template data and Main Menu is then displayed. It looks like this: ____________________________________________________________________ / \ GridForm 15:26:09 9/07/91 Template 1/ 1 _____________________________________________________________________ Template name Linear Inch Grid Grid units Inches Origin at the Bottom Print titles Yes Auto eject Yes Width Parameters Length Parameters Total units 8 Total units 10 Increment type Linear Increment type Linear Line interval .100 Line interval .100 = 80 cols = 100 rows Draw Index each 0 Draw Index each 0 Highlighting None Highlighting None _____________________________________________________________________ Press Modify, Output, Eject, Copy, Select Template, List, or eXit \____________________________________________________________________/ Pressing a letter key will invoke the named function. When you exit from a function you will be returned to the Main Menu. Pressing <M>odify takes you to the menus and functions that set the parameters used to print a GridForm -- see PART 2. & 3. ,below. When you press <O>utput you will be taken through the output control sequences listed in PART 4., below. PART 5. contains a series of exercises to acquaint you with GridForm. and to assist you in creating other templates. You may press <E>ject to send a Form Feed character (0CH) to the printer -- see also para 2.5 AUTO EJECT. Pressing <C>opy is the same as entering a plus sign on the SELECT display. It will create a new template which becomes the active one. Press <L>ist to print a list of the parameters specified in each of the templates on file. If you press the e<X>it key at the Main Menu display, the following message will appear: " Exit from GridForm (Y/N) ? ". Press <Y> and we will rewrite the data file if needed and return control of your screen to DOS. Pressing any other key will return you to the Main Menu. 4 GridForm Version 1.0 ====================================================================== PART 2. MODIFY TEMPLATE MENU Three menus are used to enter the parameters describing the active template. When you press <M> at the Main Menu you are taken to the Modify Template Menu. Pressing <W> or <L> at this menu takes you to the Width or Length Parameter Menu --- see PART 3. below This menu is used to enter or change the overall template parameters that control how this GridForm is printed. The items that can be changed on this menu are highlighted and you will be prompted to press a key, or Escape. The action invoked by each key is as follows. 2.1 TEMPLATE NAME The Template name is used in the template selection display and is printed on the template list and, optionally, at the top of each printed GridForm. When you press <T> at the Modify Template menu, you will be prompted to enter a new Template name. Pressing the Return key takes you back to the menu without changing the current entry. 2.2 GRID UNITS This parameter controls the actual unit size used in printing a GridForm. Press <G> and you will be prompted to press either <C>entimeters or nches. 2.3 ORIGIN The "Origin" is the place where the printing of the grid and index lines start. All the vertical lines printed using the Width Parameters start at the left side of the printed grid. You may specify where the horizontal lines using the Length Parameters start by pressing <O>. You will be prompted to choose either <T>op or ottom. 2.4 PRINT TITLES Press and then <Y>es or <N>o to set whether titles should be printed on the GridForm. If <Y>es, the number and name of the GridForm and the date and time are printed at the top. Size, grid unit, and the type and size of the line interval for each axis is printed at the bottom. The Origin is marked by an asterisk (*). 2.5 AUTO EJECT Press <A> and then <Y>es or <N>o to set whether or not a form feed character (0CH) should be automatically sent to the printer after the GridForm is printed. You may also send a form feed by pressing <E> on the Main Menu. GridForm Version 1.0 5 ====================================================================== PART 3. WIDTH and LENGTH PARAMETERS Pressing <W> or <L> at the Template Menu takes you to the Width (left to right) or Length (top to bottom) Parameter Menu where you may set the parameters that govern how the lines for each will be printed. 3.1 TOTAL UNITS Pressing <T> lets you set the size of the grid in terms of the Grid Units parameter set above. The minimum size for both dimensions is two units. The maximum sizes depends on the Grid Units selected, to wit, Centimeters = 20 wide x 25 long , Inches = 8 Wide x 10 Long. The GridForm will be printed centered on the page using these outer limits. 3.2 INCREMENT TYPE When the individual grid lines and index lines are printed the physical distance on the paper is controlled by the grid units, the line interval value (see paragraph 3.3), and one of the three available increment types. Press , then choose <L>inear, <C>ommon log, or <N>atural log. 3.2.1 LINEAR The distance of each grid line from the origin is a simple multiple of the line interval -- see para 3.3. The origin may take on any integer value. 3.2.2 COMMON LOG The origin has a specified value of one (1). The distance of each grid line from the origin is equal to the common log (base 10) of each of the successive .100 line intervals. Index lines are printed at the common log of the integer unit intervals. NOTE: When the grid unit is specified as centimeters, the line intervals are adjusted to print visibly discreet lines as follows: Integer units Line Interval 1 - 4 .100 4 - 8 .200 8 - 12 .250 12 - 25 .500 25 - 40 index only The maximum number of integer units is printed on the first physical 16 centimeters of the form -- further lines become indistinguishable. 6 GridForm Version 1.0 ====================================================================== 3.2.2 NATURAL LOG The origin has a specified value of one (1). The distance of each grid line from the origin is equal to the natural log (base e) of each of the successive .100 line intervals. Index lines are printed at the natural log of the integer unit intervals. 3.3 LINE INTERVAL When the Linear Increment type is in effect, individual grid lines are drawn at each successive fraction of a grid unit as specified by this parameter. Some examples are: Fraction Parts/unit Fraction Parts/unit .100 10 .250 4 .083 12 .500 2 .060 16.66 .999 1 The minimum interval for Inches is .050, for Centimeters .100 Press <L> and then enter a three digit decimal fraction -- do NOT enter the decimal point, it is supplied by the program. Entering a zero suppresses the printing of grid lines for that dimension. The number of columns or rows to be printed will be displayed. 3.4 DRAW INDEX When either of the logarithmic increment types is selected, index lines indicating the integer units are automatically drawn. If you have chosen a linear increment type, you may elect to draw index lines at each of a specified number of columns or rows, or at integer units (even if the line interval is zero). Press <D> and then enter nit or a number -- entering a zero causes no index lines to be drawn. The maximum is one-half the total columns or rows. 3.5 HIGHLIGHTING If you have chosen a linear increment type, you may elect to highlight specific areas on the printed GridForm. Press <H> and then the letter indicating the type of highlighting you desire. nit bars are shading at alternating integer unit intervals whether or not index lines are to be drawn. Selecting <C>heckerboard will shade alternate unit squares in both dimensions of the GridForm. If you select Checkerboard on one, you should set <N>one on the other to avoid running out of printer memory. GridForm Version 1.0 7 ====================================================================== PART 4. OUTPUT CONTROL When you press <O>utput at the Main Menu you will be prompted to: Press rinter, <F>ile, or <M>acro 4.1 PRINTER To send the template defined data directly to the printer, press . If the Auto eject parameter is "On", you will be prompted for the number of copies you wish to print. Enter a number up to 99 or press return for only one copy (the third dimension !). If the Auto eject parameter is "Off", the data will be sent to the printer but the page will not be printed at this time. 4.2 FILE The template defined data may be sent to a disk file for printing at another time (the fourth dimension !). When you press <F> a file will be created on the current drive and directory with the name "GRIDFILE.nnn" where "nnn" equals the template number plus 100. Previously created files from the same template are overwritten. To print the file, at the DOS prompt enter "COPY GRIDFILE.nnn PRN" (include the drive and pathname if needed). 4.3 MACRO The HP LaserJet Plus and subsequent models (and compatibles) have the capability to store "Macros" -- a string of print controls and data -- and to control when they are to be printed. The template defined data may be sent to a disk file formatted for downloading as a macro. When you press <M> a file will be created on the current drive and directory with the name "GRIDMCRO.mmm" where "mmm" equals the template number plus 100. Previously created files from the same template are overwritten. The file includes the laser control code sequences that set the macro ID as "mmm" (ESC &f###Y), tell the printer to start loading the template data (ESC &f0X), the data itself, when the data ends (ESC &f1X), and to make the macro a permanent one (ESC &f10X) -- not removed by a soft reset. NOTE: Macro files will NOT include a formfeed (0CH) regardless of the auto eject parameter. To download the macro enter "COPY GRIDMCRO.mmm PRN". To execute the macro, you must send additional command sequences to the printer. An example of how to do this is described in the PART 5. exercise that uses the "Text Screen Overlay" template that you will create. 8 GridForm Version 1.0 ====================================================================== PART 5. PRACTICAL EXERCISES In this part we will explore various features of GridForm starting with the new file that is created by the program. Copy the program to a new diskette copy or to a hard disk subdirectory, log on to that drive\subdirectory and enter GRIDFORM At the first display, press Return to start with Template number 1. The next display you will see is the data describing the template-- an 8x10 inch grid with 10 parts per unit and no indexing. The dialog box contains the Main Menu. Press <O> and then to print a copy of this GridForm. The size of template number 1 is set at the maximum size allowed for inch units. Press <M> to bring up the Modify Template menu and then <W> for the Width Parameter menu. Note that the five items that can be changed are now highlighted. Press <T>, and enter a new value for the Total Units. Return to the Main Menu and print the template. You will see that the width of the grid has been changed but all the other parameters remain in effect. Take a few minutes to experiment with changing the Total Units on both the width and length parameter menus and observe the results. When you are finished, restore the Total Units to 8 wide X 10 long. Distances on a plain grid can be difficult to evaluate without some assistance. Let's add index lines to this template. Go to the Width Parameter menu and press <D>. A statement of the available indexing modes will appear in the dialog box. Enter a "U" and press Return. The new index mode will be indicated on the display. Press Escape to go back to the Modify Template menu. Press <L> to select the Length Parameter menu and make the same change as you did on the Width Draw Index parameter. Return back to the Main Menu and print the template. Note that index lines have been added at integer unit intervals making distances much easier to measure. You may choose to print index lines at other than unit intervals. Choose the Width parameter menu, press <D> and enter "6" as the number of columns to be indexed. Print the template. Note that index lines are printed every 6 columns starting at the left side of the grid. Now make the same change on the Length Parameter menu and the print the template. The index lines are printed every 6 lines starting at the Origin -- the bottom of the grid (an "*" is printed there). Go to the <M>odify Template menu and change the origin to the top (press <O> then <T>). Print the template and you will see that the index lines now start at the top of the grid. GridForm Version 1.0 9 ====================================================================== Another way to mark integer unit distances is to highlight alternate ones. Go to the Width Parameter menu, press <H> and choose nit bars. Remove the index lines by pressing <D> and then enter a zero. Reset the Length Draw index parameter to "Unit". Return to the Main Menu and print the template. The alternate width unit distances are now highlighted with a 20% gray scale pattern. Go back to the Width parameter menu and change the highlighting to <C>heckerboard. Print the template to see the results. At this point you may wish to repeat your experiments with resetting the horizontal and vertical sizes. When you are finished, reset the sizes to the maximum, the index lines to "Unit", and the highlighting to "None" on both dimensions. Next we will create a new template that will be used in further exercises. Return to the Main Menu and press <C>opy. The header now shows that a new template has been added to the file -- Template 2/ 2 -- and is the current active template Press <M>odify to go to the Modify Template menu and then change the <T>emplate Name to "Text Screen Overlay" (don't type the quotes) and set the rint titles to "No". So far we have used intervals of .100 (1/10 inch) on both dimensions. Press <L> to go to the Length Parameter menu and there press <L> to change the line interval. Set the length line interval to 6 rows/inch by entering "166" (= 1/6). Note that the number of rows is now 60. Return to the main Menu and print the template. You now have a grid that marks off how your printer will print a page at 10 characters per inch and 6 lines per inch that can be used to plan a printed page. As it's name implies, this grid can be used to determine where characters fall on a Text Screen. Assuming that your printer's default font is 10 cpi printed at 6 lpi, try this: Press Shift+PrtSc to send a copy of any screen to the printer. Since this function does not usually eject a page from the printer, you can print two screens at 6 lines/inch. If you reset the printer to 8 lines/inch and the Length Line interval to .125, you can get three. If you have exited from GridForm to copy the screen(s), run GRIDFORM again and select this overlay template. Now overlay the grid onto the screen(s) printout by pressing to print the overlay template. If you get two templates instead of one, go to the Modify Template Menu and turn off the Auto Eject parameter -- press <A> and then <N>o. Return to the Main menu and print the template. Now press Shift+PrtSc and, if necessary, press <E>ject. 10 GridForm Version 1.0 ====================================================================== This template can also be used to evaluate and plan the layout of the printed pages in any document. Let's setup this GridForm as a macro and see how that works. Press <O>utput and then <M>acro. A file named GRIDMCRO.102 will be created -- you'll see the message. Now e<X>it from GridForm. Next you must download the macro and activate it. The distribution disk contains two files to be used in this exercise, "SMALLDOC.PRN" and "GOVERLAY.BAT" -- copy them to the current directory. SMALLDOC.PRN is an ASCII file that is three pages long, each ending in a formfeed (0CH). It contains the cover, table of contents and page 1 of this manual. We will use it to illustrate how to control a macro so that each page will be overlaid with GridForm # 2. Note: The LAST character in the file must be a formfeed (0CH). "GOVERLAY.BAT" contains the instructions to download the macro, turn it on as an overlay that will print on every page, print the file, and then remove the macro from the printer memory. The batch file is reproduced here with explanatory comments added in curly brackets."[Esc]" is the abbreviation for the character 1BH. Each line starts in column one. copy gridmcro.102 prn {1. Downloads the macro, ID = 102} echo [Esc]&f102y4X > prn {2. Activates Macro 102 as an overlay} copy smalldoc.prn prn {3. Prints the file} echo [Esc]&f102y8X > prn {4. Remove the current overlay} To run the test, at the DOS command enter "GOVERLAY" -- the commands will be echoed to the screen as they are executed. If you wish to leave the overlay in memory and activated, remove line 4. from the batch file -- everything you subsequently print will be overlaid until you either send line 4. to the printer or do a hard reset (front panel) -- see your printer manual for other ways to control the existence and execution of macros. You can also leave the overlay in memory but NOT activated by changing line 4. to read: "echo [Esc]&f102y5X > prn". To turn the overlay back on send the command in line 2. to the printer. NOTE: Once you have created and downloaded the macro(s), you can execute your own batch files or embed the control sequences in your data files with your word processor -- see your user manuals for further details. When you are finished with this part of the exercise, make sure the macro(s) are removed from the printer memory. Rerun GridForm for the next practical exercise. GridForm Version 1.0 11 ====================================================================== The same technique can be used to plan the layout of printed pages using different fonts and line spacing. <L>ist was done this way. Press <S>elect and then enter a "+" sign to create a new template (or just press <C>opy). <M>odify the new <T>emplate name to "Grid List Overlay" and set the rint Titles to "No". Since the <L>ist function ejects each page it prints, you must set Auto eject to "No". The report is printed in the center 7 inches of the page at 16.66 characters/inch and 8 lines/inch, therefore the following values are set to match the printout: Width Parameters Length Parameters Total units 7 Total units 10 Increment type Linear Increment type Linear Line interval .060 Line interval .125 = 117 cols = 80 rows Draw Index each 10 Draw Index each Unit Highlighting None Highlighting None Make the required changes on the Width and Length Parameter menus and return to the Main Menu. First, press <L>ist to see how the GridForm Template List looks. Then rint the overlay and press <L>ist again. The first page of the printout is now overlaid with the grid specified in this template. You can create overlays for any printed page using this technique. Simply match the width and length parameters to the font size and line spacing and set both the title and auto eject parameters to "No". rint the GridForm, exit GridForm, and then print your document. Try this with your spreadsheet printouts. Create a new template and give it a name. Set the Origin to the "Top", Print titles and Auto eject to "No", both Total Units to maximum size, and the Width Line interval to zero. Set the Length Line interval to match the spreadsheet line spacing and the Length Draw parameter to "Unit" or some appropriate number. Print the GridForm and then print the spreadsheet. The horizontal grid lines and index lines should make it easier to read. Multiple GridForms can be overlaid on each other by setting the Title and Auto eject to "No" on each one, except maybe the last to be printed. Select and print each grid. When you are finished press <E>ject, if necessary, on the Main Menu. The designs that can be created with this overlay technique are limited only by your imagination and how much printer memory you have. Experimenting with other Increment types and Centimeter Grid units is left as an exercise for the user. Select Template 1 and then copy it to each new template so that you don't lose what you have already created. PART 6.
