- 10.2.2 PLOT EPSON
-
-
- The PLOT EPSON command is used to output a raster file ( previously
- created with the PLOT RASTER command ) to any epson compatible printer.
-
- To generate a raster image file suitable for plotting on an epson compatible
- printer, the value for the DOTSPERINCH modifier in PLOT RASTER should be 72
- for low resolution 8 pin plotters, or 180 for high resolution 24 pin plotters.
-
- Colour raster files can be plotted if the commands are supported by the
- output device.
-
-
- MODIFIERS
-
- FROM Requires the name of the raster image file created with the PLOT
- RASTER command. If this modifier is not used, the file
- XCTEMP:rastc is assumed to be the raster image file. ( This
- file is the default file created by PLOT RASTER ).
-
- TO Requires the name of the file or device used as a destination
- for the epson plot commands. If this modifier is not used, the
- plot commands will be sent to the device PAR: ( the parallel
- port ). If you are likely to reproduce the same plot many times,
- it can be useful to output the plot commands to a disk-file
- which in turn can then be copied to the printer when required.
-
- DENSITY This modifier is used to specify low or high resolution
- plotting. The modifier is followed by one of two keywords:
-
- LOW To specify low resolution plotting for 8 pin
- plotters ( the default ).
-
- HIGH To specify high resolution plotting for 24 pin
- plotters.
