- The following are additional ABC messages not found in the manual:
- "There is already a chart with this name."
- You are trying to rename a chart with the same name as an existing
- chart. Every chart must have a unique name.
- Type a name that is not used in the document.
-
- "You must complete edit before closing a chart."
- You cannot close a chart or quit ABC while editing.
- Complete the edit before trying to close the chart.
-
- "Spacing value too large. (Some shapes will be out of chart area.)"
- The spacing value you are using to space shapes will move some of
- the shapes out of the chart area.
- Use a smaller value to space the shapes.
-
-
- {Notes for plotter users}
- Most plotters are not capable of the following features. It is a
- good idea to test these features on your particular plotter before
- attempting to use them.
-
- Shadows. Shapes with shadowing may appear as solid black objects
- instead of having the intended shadowing effect.
-
- Patterns. The pattern may be omitted from the shape.
-
- Lines. Lines may appear to go "over" a shape instead of behind it.
- Draw lines around shapes if possible.
-
- Opaque text. Text with opaque background may use transparent
- background instead.
-
- Overlapping shapes. If shapes overlap, the top shape may not cover
- the shapes beneath it.
-
-
- {Master item font}
- The font used for master items can be changed by making an entry
- in the WIN.INI file under the heading [ABC Flowcharter]. This
- heading appears after the first time you run ABC.
-
- The entry should have the following form:
- Font5=[FONT NAME],[POINT SIZE],[STYLE OPTION]
-
- For example,
- Font5=Helv,10,0
-
- The style option can be set as follows:
- 0 - No style
- 1 - Bold
- 2 - Italic
- 4 - Underline
- 8 - Strikeout
- To combine styles, just add the numbers for the styles you want.
- For example, 6 gives you Italic and Underline.
-
- You should make sure the font, size and style you choose is
- available on your printer.
