• Pen Display Mapping
This mapping is based on individual pixel locations. It is used mainly in the graph
context for displaying text on a graph, but is also used in the statistics edit context to
display list elements. The display is mapped out to 64 rows of 96 pixels.

– Two bytes of RAM are used to position text written:
• (penCol) = column coordinate (0 – 95d)
• (penRow) = row coordinate (0 – 63d)
The pen location specified represents the upper left most pixel of the character
being displayed.
– Fonts
• 5 (width) x 7 (height) (pixels) large characters.
• 6/7 pixel high by variable-width small characters.
• Application defined custom characters.
– Text formatting
• Reverse video:
Display all text written in reverse video:
textInverse, (IY + textFlags); default = 0
• Write to Graph backup buffer:
The output can be directed to either the display, or the graph backup buffer,
plotSScreen.
textWrite, (IY + sGrFlags) = 1 to write to buffer; default = 0
