5.2.3     Columns with boxes

Obviously, columns aren’t made only to put texts in it.
Continue working in Test Design 10.
Copy everything from PAGE_START to the end and paste it below the last line in your program.

In this second page, we change the comment line and the text line to: “Using boxes in columns

We need to erase everything from ‘Page_Paragraph_Start till Page_Paragraph_End in the first (left) column. The command : Colour_Page_text, can be erased too, otherwise, the result will be in a colour too.
Add some blank lines in the program, where you just erased the text, so it will be easier to add new command there.

There were we just erased the text (left) we add a new piece of code :

PAGE_TEXT_CENTRE (HN 10 "Na PAGE_COLUMN_START, \nadding a tall box.")

ROW_START_FS (HN 6 0.1 6.0)
STAMP_ADD (26.0 96.0 "Verical \nstrip of 3" "" "MI 191-193" "")

In the same way, we can also erase the text part in the right column now, and replace it with another set of codes:

PAGE_TEXT_CENTRE (HN 10 "After PAGE_COLUMN_NEXT, \nwe add 3 small boxes.")

ROW_START_FS (HN 6 0.1 6.0)
STAMP_ADD (26.0 32.0 "1/2d \n green" "" "1" "")

ROW_START_FS (HN 6 0.1 6.0)

STAMP_ADD (32.0 26.0 "1d \n rose red" "" "2" "")

ROW_START_FS (HN 6 0.1 6.0)

STAMP_ADD (32.0 32.0 "1 1/2d \n chesnut" "" "3" "")

If you like, you can add at the end (after Page_Column_Stop -and/or - COLOUR_PAGE_TEXT (black) the following command :

PAGE_TEXT_CENTRE (HN 12 "After PAGE_COLUMN_STOP, we don’t  work any longer in columns, but the text continues over the full page.")

Now generate and see the PDF :


Of course, now you can combine both items: left paragraph text and right boxes, or the other way around.

5.2.4     Columns with boxes and text :

Copy in Test Design 10 all parts you need to create a mixed view : left a box, and right the paragraph text we used in the beginning.
Add – in the text column some blank lines, and – why not – a Page_Rule_H command to create an additional line (use 3 pms when adding this command).

My sollution:
