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.
