^FR — Field Reverse Print: white on black

Goal

Print white-on-black with ^FR.

Description

^FR reverses a field: dots print white-on-black instead of black-on-white. Draw the black ground first (a ^GB box here), then print the reversed field on top. (It is not a rotation command.)

Example

^XA
^FO20,20^GB400,70,70^FS
^FO40,35^FR^A0N,30,30^FDWhite on black^FS
^XZ

Result

White glyphs knocked out of a solid black box.
