hpC2I()

Converts horizontal character spacing to inches


Syntax

hpC2I(<nCol>)


Parameters

<nCol>
The column coordinate to convert to inches.


Returns

<n>
Inch equivalent of passed column coordinate.

-10
ESC_FONT was not initialized, or was released.

-12
Wrong number of parameters passed.


Remarks

One of the qualities of the Escape! functions that makes them so
versatile is the ability to designate positions either by specifying row
and column, or by specifying inches; whichever is best depending on
your needs.  hpC2I() takes this even further by allowing you to use
character spaces, within a function that calls for inches.


Support By

All HP Laserjet Printers
