~F8Polygon Killing.
4. "ε+" Fetch 1st polygon of 1stimage of the film.
5. "K" Kill a polygon.
6. "." ring around the polygons of an image.
7. "!" flush node display.
Given an image of polygons corresponding to one letter,
undesired polygons can be deleted by using the "K" command and the
node link display commands. To start, the "ε+" will intensify the
first polygon of the image's polygon ring; from there the "."
commands will intensify the next polygon of the ring; the "K"
command will delete the presently intensified polygon and fetch the
next polygon.
A font corresponds to a film. An image corresponds to a
letter. After taking a series of iaages, and deleting undesired
polygons a font file can be made using:
Making and Outputing a Font File.
8. "X"CENTER Center all the images of the film.
9. "Q" Make font bit rasters.
10. "εO" Output font file.
The "X"CENTER command is an extend mode command and requires
both hitting "X" and typing out the word "CENTER" followed by a
carriage return. The "Q" will cause a bit raster to be made for the
interior portions of each image of the film; if an image node does
not have an associate ASCII code then the user will be requested to
supply one. The "εO" will ask for a font filename and will output a
font file in the Stanford Format.
Testing a new Font File.
11. .XGP FILE/FONT=NEWFNT.FNT[XGP,BGB]
The above monitor command will print a FILE with a new font.
The user must specify his PPPN because the default is [XGP,SYS].
