VPOS=rows

Parameter Values

rows: specifies the number of rows in the graphics output area, which is equivalent to the number of hardware characters that can be displayed vertically. Specifying VPOS=0 causes the device driver to use the default hardware character cell height for the device.

Details

The VPOS= graphics option overrides the values of the LROWS or PROWS device parameters and temporarily sets the number of columns in the graphics output area. VPOS= does not affect the height of the graphics output area but merely divides it into rows. Therefore, you can use VPOS= to control cell height.

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 hardware text. The larger the size of the HPOS= and VPOS= values, the smaller the size of each character cell.
