Remarks

hpIPattBar() is included for compatibility with earlier versions of
Escape!. The use of hpIPattBar() is not recomended because it can be
functionally replaced by hpPattBar() with 'I' (for Inches) passed as the
<cUnits> parameter.

Try adding special effects with hpIPattBar() to attract attention to your
reports.  hpIPattBar() can be used to easily create horizontal graph
bars, or to mark off special sections on custom forms.

To draw a simplistic bar graph:

hpIPattBar(hpL2I(1), 0, nSales86, 1, 1)
hpIPattBar(hpL2I(3), 0, nSales87, 1, 2)
hpIPattBar(hpL2I(5), 0, nSales88, 1, 3)
