USING THE FILL WEDGE COMMAND
The Fill Wedge ( WG ) command, defines and fills a
wedge using the current pen, the current line and fill
types. The WG command includes an automatic pen down,
and when the operation is complete, the original pen
location and up/down status are restored. The syntax
for the WG command is as follows:
WG radius,start angle,sweep angle,[chord angle];
For more information see the Updated PCL 5 Printer
Language Technical Reference Manual.
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.
SC-3000,3000,-2000,2000,1; Sets up user scaling,
with P1 located at (-
3000,-2000), and P2 being
(3000,2000). The 1
indicates isotropic
scaling.
PA0,0;FT3,75,45;WG-1000,90,180; Enters absolute
plotting mode and moves
to user-unit position
(0,0). Then selects fill
type 3 (parallel lines),
with 75 user-units
between lines and the
lines slanted 45 degrees.
Then fills a wedge with
the current fill pattern;
using a radius of 1000
user-units, a starting
angle of 90 degrees and a
sweep angle of 180
degrees. The zero-degree
reference point is on the
left side of the circle
(indicated by the
negative radius parameter
[-1000]).
EW-1000,90,180; Outlines (edges) the
wedge just drawn with the
commands above.
FT4,60,45;WG-1000,330,120; Selects fill type 4
(cross-hatching),
specifying 60 user-units
between lines with the
lines tilted at a 45
degree angle. Fills a
wedge that has the same
radius and center point
as the one above, but
with a starting angle of
330 degrees, and a sweep
angle of 120 degrees.
EW-1000,330,120; Edges the wedge just
drawn above.
PR-60,110;FT1; Specifies relative
plotting and moves the
pen 60 user-units to the
left and 110 units up.
Then selects fill type 1
(solid black).
WG-1000,270,60; Fills a wedge, using the
fill type just specified
above, with a radius of
1000 user-units, a start
angle of 270 degrees, and
a sweep angle of 60
degrees.
EW-1000,270,60; Edges the wedge just
drawn.
Ec%0A Enters PCL mode.
EcE Sends a reset to end the
job and eject the page.
