FGL Draw Horizontal Line

FGL has two different line drawing commands, as well as a command that lets you specify how thick the lines being drawn will be.  Here are the commands to draw lines and specify their thickness:

<VXr>               Draw Vertical Line.  r is a number, such as 45
<HXc>              Draw Horizontal Line.  c is a number, such as 45
<LT#>               Line Thickness command.  # is a number, such as 5

Lines are drawn from the last position specified to the printer, either directly by an <RCx.y> command, or by the last printer cursor position used by the previous command.  The numbers you specify in the <VXr> and <HXc> commands are the length of the line drawn in dots.

The thickness specified in the <LT#> command REMAINS IN EFFECT until you specify another line thickness.

Here is some sample code below to illustrate line drawing:

<F3><HW1,1>
<LT1><RC50,50><HX300>
<LT4>
<RC60,50><HX300>
<LT8>
<RC70,50><HX300>
<LT1>
<RC150,50><VX200>
<LT2>
<RC150,100><VX200>
<LT4>
<RC150,150><VX200>
<LT8>
<RC150,200><VX200>
<LT16>
<RC150,250><VX200>
<LT32>
<RC150,300><VX200>
<RC50,400>3 Horz Lines
<RR><RC150,400>6 Vert Lines

The output from the above code should look very similar to this:
