below.

Line 

specifies single-density graphics mode and also reserves 

columns for graphics. Line 30 begins a loop to supply 

bytes of

data. Line 40 contains the number 170, which produces the first pin
pattern shown in the section on pin labels, and line 50 finishes the
loop.

Note: Some software programs (including most versions of
BASIC) automatically insert carriage return and line feed codes
after every 80 or 130 characters. This is usually no problem with
text, but it can spoil your graphics. Two 

 of

graphics are printed in the middle of the ones you send, and two
data numbers are left over and printed as text.

In some versions of BASIC, you can prevent unwanted 
codes in graphics by putting a WIDTH statement ‘at 
of all graphics programs. The format in many 

 versions is

either WIDTH 

 

or 

 

 

software manual for the proper format.
