specifies the number of columns in the graphics
output area, which is equivalent to the number of hardware characters that
can be displayed horizontally. Specifying HPOS=0 causes the device driver
to use the default hardware character cell width for the device.
The HPOS= graphics option overrides the
values of the LCOLS or PCOLS device parameters and temporarily sets the number
of columns in the graphics output area. HPOS= does not affect the width of
the graphics output area but merely divides it into columns. Therefore, you
can use HPOS= to control cell width.
The values specified in the HPOS= and VPOS= graphics
options determine the size of a character cell for the graphics output area
and consequently the size of many graphics elements, such as device-resident
text. The larger the size of the HPOS= and VPOS= values, the smaller the
size of each character cell.
