- 10.1.3 PLOT KYOCERA
-
-
- The PLOT KYOCERA command is used to create plots on the Kyocera laser
- printer or any compatible laser printer. This printer supports A4 size plots
- in one colour.
-
- Some early versions of this printer do not have a large enough memory buffer
- to store a dense A4 plot. If this happens it can be seen as a series of gaps
- in the plot running down the page.
-
- Any hardfont styles used in the drawing are ignored as no line styles except
- solid are supported by the printer. Hardfont line thickness is supported.
-
-
- COMMAND FORMAT
-
- #PLOT KYOCERA [modifiers] :Win x1 x2
-
- or
-
- #PLOT KYOCERA [modifiers] [CR]
-
- If the command is terminated with a colon, a plot window can be defined by
- entering two locations to define the extents of the window. If the command
- is terminated with a return, the entire sheet will be plotted. The bottom
- left corner of the window or sheet is used as the plot origin.
-
- The plot will be created at a one to one scale with the sheet size and
- units.
-
-
- MODIFIERS
-
- TO Requires the name of a file or device to direct all plot
- commands. If this modifier is omitted, then the plot commands
- will be directed to the device PAR: - the parallel port - as
- the plotter is usually connected to this port. If the plotter
- is connected to the serial port then the command
-
- #PLOT KYOCERA TO SER:
-
- should be used.
-
- Plot commands can be directed to a disk file for later or
- background plotting.
-
- ORIENTATION The ORIENTATION modifier is used to select one of two
- orientations for the plot.
-
- LANDSCAPE Will orient the plot horizontally on the
- A4 sheet.
-
- PORTRAIT Will orient the plot vertically on the A4
- sheet.
-
- If the modifier is omitted, the LANDSCAPE orientation will
- be used.
-
- SCALE Can be used to alter the scale of the plot. If the modifier
- is omitted, then a scale of 1.0 will be used.
-
- OFFSET The OFFSET command can be used to specify an xy offset for
- the origin of the plot. The modifier requires 2 values
- separated by a comma, these are the x and y values at which
- to offset the plot origin. The values must be entered in
- millimetres. For example:
-
- #PLOT KYOCERA OFFSET 30,60
-
- Will offset the origin of the plot by 30 millimetres in the
- x direction and 60 millimetres in the y direction.
-
- SHADEPITCH Used to specify the vertical distance between horizontal
- lines used to emulate a colour filled polygon. The value
- must be entered as a dot pitch. If this modifier is omitted,
- a value of 4 dots is used.
-
- NOFILL The NOFILL modifier can be used to inhibit any filled areas
- of a drawing being plotted.
-
- COPY The COPY modifier can be followed by a value specifying up
- to 99 copies of the plot. The default is to create one copy.
-
- NOEJECT If the NOEJECT modifier is used, the PAGE command is not sent
- to the printer when the plot is complete. The paper will
- remain inside the print and can be over-printed with text if
- required.
