**tab(-10, AG\_BEVEL); bevelflags; chr(127);**     [Tab(-10,x) Syntax Notes](ag_xxx_syntax-notes.htm.md)

AG\_BEVEL (13) provides a way to set the values that are on the _Settings...Beveling_ menu.

This function has both a [subroutine and a print tab implementation](subroutine-print-pairs.htm.md).

**Parameters**

_bevelflags_

Typically 255 to turn on beveling and replace all the standard line drawing characters with 3D versions. 0 deactivates beveling.

**Response**

none

**Example**

? TAB(-10,AG\_BEVEL);"255";chr(127);      \! turn beveling on

? TAB(-10,AG\_BEVEL);str(0);chr(127);     \! turn beveling off

**Notes**

Note that beveling works best with a gray or pastel background; see [AG\_PALETTE](ag_setcolor.htm.md) for details on defining colors from within the program. Also note that you can turn on beveling via the _Settings...Beveling_ menu, and then save it permanently in the settings file. For more information, see [Beveling](beveling_gui_ext.htm.md)_._
