Positioning the Graphic Image
This section explains how to position the graphic image within a graphic packet header, a field
of a graphic packet, or within a format.
Within the Graphic Packet Header
When you are using RAM, the row and column parameters in the graphic header are usually 0,0,
because placement is controlled by the graphic field in your format. This is especially true when
designing a compliance label overlay.
When you are using temporary storage, these parameters control
the placement of the graphic image on the supply.
The area enclosed within the dotted lines represents the graphic
image starting at 0,0 (as defined in the graphic header).
If you want a fixed amount of white space around your graphic
image, use something other than 0 for row and/or column.
The area enclosed within the dotted lines represents the graphic
image starting at 0,0 with a fixed amount of white space (10,10)
around the graphic image.
Within the Field
In a bitmap, constant text, line, or box field, the row and column
parameters control where an individual field or bitmapped row begins
in relation to the coordinates defined in the graphic header.
The bottom of the triangle in this example represents the first field of
the graphic packet starting at 10,0.
Within a Format
When you define the graphic field within your format, the row and
column parameters represent where on the format to place the
graphic image.
If you are doing a compliance label, these numbers are usually 0,0, because your compliance
label covers the entire supply. See "Placing the Graphic in a Format," for a sample compliance
label.
If you are placing a graphic (a logo, for example) within a certain
area on your supply, enter the starting position (bottom left corner)
of the graphic image.
This label shows the triangle “logo” beginning (the bottom left
corner) at 155, 33 as defined in the graphic field.
