Using TRCs to select symbol sets

GDDM-PGF V2R1.3 OPS User's Guide
SC33-1776-00

TRC (table reference code) characters control the choice of symbol sets made by a printer. The codes are in column 2, and assume values from 0 to 3, corresponding to four possible symbol sets. As described in "Basic text handling" in topic 2.4.1, you can control the symbol set of OPS in exactly the same way. For example:

1 ... )ops ss font0 font1 font2 font3 )ops trc on; * column 2 is now considered as TRC code 0 Written with font0 1 Written with font1 2 Written with font2 3 Written with font3 )ops trc off; * if it is used here only... 1

You can also attach individual character box sizes, colors, and leading space to the different TRC values. These are used in the example below, which creates a text foil using TF commands and TRC codes.

Note: This example is actually part of the OPS sample file, ADM7OPXA, so you can get the infile and use it yourself as the starting point for one of your presentations.
