182. Stripes in Wordwise Plus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A simple OS command will produce vertical stripes in preview mode so that along with the LNS command, it would be quite easy to align characters either vertically or horizontally. There are two ways in which vertical stripes can be displayed; either projected in between characters or running through the middle of a character. An added bonus is that stripes could be in any of the BBC colours including flashing ones! The green embedded command is: OS"FX155,n" where the value of n=1 for red stripes between characters or n=17 for red stripes through the middle of characters. Obviously values n=2 & n=18 would give green stripes, 3 & 19 yellow and so on. Curious effects can be achieved if for example two OS commands are issued with say n=1 & 18 respectively. Stripes in two colours viz red (between characters) and green (through characters) are obtained. The possibilities are endless! Have fun! NB: It is said that these effects can be generated in the later versions of WORDWISE but it does not work on mine. (Ed: I have tried it on version 1.4E and it works. TRY flashing colours - you go cross eyed!)
