{35} *7 Picture negative

This Tag defines in picture boxes whether the picture should be displayed as positive or nega-
tive. QuarkXPress can display TIFF pictures and certain PICT pictures as negative, see Quark-
XPress reference manual.
*71
the picture is displayed as negative
*70
or missing Tags; the picture will be displayed normally postive.
¶*Z3*T12*5"Blue"*60.7*71*$Omega.tif¶
shows a 70% shaded blue coloured picture in negative:
{35} *7 Font kern amount
{36} *8 Font track amount
in both cases [-500…500]
Both Tags define in text boxes (for picture boxes, see above) the character spacing in the box
font. For both Tags the following applies: positive values increase the spacing, negative values
decrease it. The difference is only: font kerning defines the spacing between characters, font
tracking defines the distance of a character itself to the right. A value for the font kerning is
only applied, if a box contains text.
¶*T3*335*F1*1"Times"*7-25*h1*H1*$WAV¶
creates a text box, the text “WAV” appears in Times 35 point and is kerned by 25 units. One
unit is 1/200 of an Em space, the absolute value varies with the font. The right box shows the
same text without font kerning.
