- 10.2.5 PLOT XEROX
-
-
- The PLOT XEROX command is used to output a raster file ( previously
- created with the PLOT RASTER command ) to the Xerox 4020 colour ink-jet
- printer or any compatible printer.
-
- To generate a raster image file suitable for plotting on the Xerox 4020
- printer, the value for the DOTSPERINCH modifier in PLOT RASTER should be 120.
- 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 Xerox 4020 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.
-
- INTERLACE Used to select interlaced graphics. The resolution of the
- output is still 120 dpi, but each line is printed twice - the
- second line offset by 1/240" to the right and down. This gives
- a more solid print output.
