Abstract
Apparatus and methods are disclosed for defining and controlling the relative positioning of symbols in a computer-based imaging system for generating images suitable for controlling a printing operation. Information describing the symbols is stored in a memory and is retrieved and the corresponding symbol relatively positioned on an imaging device in response to a control program and an input specification of the desired coincidence of "concatenation points" associated with each symbol.
