DRAWING BASIC WEDGES
The wedge commands, Edge Wedge ( EW ) and Fill Wedge (
WG ), use your current pen location as the center point
of the wedge. You then specify the radius, the start
angle, and the sweep angle to complete the wedge. The
angles are measured counterclockwise, zero at the 3 o-
clock position. For more information see the PCL 5
Printer Language Technical Reference Manual.
Syntax for the EW command is as follows:
EW[radius],[start angle],[sweep angle];
LEGEND: Ec = [Ctrl] [P] [Esc] in DOS EDIT.
EcE Resets the printer.
Ec%0B Enters HP-GL/2 mode.
IN; Initializes HP-GL/2 mode.
SP1; Selects pen number 1,
(black). Even though
there is no physical pen,
the SP command must be
used to enable printing.
PA2500,3500; Specifies absolute
plotting and moves to
location (2500,3500).
EW600,90,60; Draws the outline of a
wedge, using the current
pen location (2500,3500)
as the center point of
the wedge. The wedge has
a radius of 600 plotter
units, and begins at 90
degrees from the default,
zero degree, reference
point, and "sweeps" for
60 degrees,
counterclockwise.
Ec%0A Enters the PCL mode.
EcE Sends a reset to end the
job and eject the page.
