Remarks

hpIGrayCol() is included for compatibility with earlier versions of
Escape!. The use of hpIGrayCol() is not recomended because it can be
functionally replaced by hpGrayCol() with 'I' (for Inches) passed as the
<cUnits> parameter.

Use hpIGrayCol() to emphasize a column of numbers, or to divide
sections of your report.  Try combining hpIGrayCol() with any of the
other graphic functions to get some very impressive results.

Example

A command to fill the second column of your page with a 30 percent
gray shade starting 1 inch down, and extending for 4 inches is:
hpIGrayCol(1, hpC2I(2), 5, 0, 30)

To print the same gray column with a double line border:
hpIGrayCol(1, hpC2I(2), 5, 2, 30)
