- 10.2.4 PLOT MITSUBISHI
-
-
- The PLOT MITSUBISHI command is used to output a raster file ( previously
- created with the PLOT RASTER command ) to the Mitsubishi G500 colour thermal
- transfer printer or any compatible printer.
-
- To generate a raster image file suitable for plotting on the Mitsubishi G500
- printer, the value for the DOTSPERINCH modifier in PLOT RASTER should be 240
- unless the enlargement option is chosen. Colour raster files will be plotted
- using the 7 available colours, mono raster files will be plotted in black.
-
- The colour assignments used for the Mitsubishi G500 are as follows:
-
- Colour 0 Not plotted
- Colour 1 Yellow
- Colour 2 Magenta
- Colour 3 Red
- Colour 4 Cyan
- Colour 5 Green
- Colour 6 Blue
- Colour 7 Black
-
- This follows the standard yellow, magenta and cyan colour combination used
- by most colour printers. To preview a drawing in these colours, the command
-
- #CHANGE COLOUR YMC
-
- can be used to select the appropriate colours.

- 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 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.
-
- ENLARGE The ENLARGE modifier is used to select the 2x2 enlarge mode for
- the Mitsubishi G500. If this option is used, each pixel is
- plotted as a 2x2 matrix instead of a single dot. Therefore the
- image will be enlarged to twice normal size. To compensate for
- this the DOTSPERINCH modifier in PLOT RASTER should be set to
- 120 instead of 240.
