- This page covers notes for PrintGL 1.20 that are not included in the
- 1.18 manual.
-
- The O suboption of /L sets pen overwrite mode. This causes PrintGL
- to draw with opaque lines instead of oring lines into the print.
-
- Color PostScript is supported. Color and shading parameters are
- mapped into RGB color levels. PostScript overwrites as it draws, so
- overlapping lines appear as if /LO was used. The HP-GL drawing order
- is preserved.
-
- PMI looks for the environment variable PRINTGLP, and if found, uses
- it as the DOS PATH.
-
- The Mannesmann Tally MT92C color DeskJet compatible printer is
- supported. Use /FA (300 dpi), /FA- (150 dpi), /FA~ (300 dpi black
- only), or /FA~- (150 dpi black only).
-
- There is a 360x364, four pass driver for the Proprinter X24 - /F6*.
- This will not work with most X24 compatibles because it uses 1/144
- inch indexing to do odd 1/360 inch indexing (2/144 = 3/216 = 5/360).
-
- Font enhancement is invoked with /ZE. This improves character curve
- smoothness.
-
- Proportional fonts are now kerned, and do not match the width table
- in the 1.18 manual. Instead of documenting a width and kerning
- table, the HP-GL LO command is supported.
-
- LO [ position_number ]
-
- label origin (7550 extension)
-
- LO sets the label origin. For positions 4..9 and 14..19 the
- label buffer is limited to 150 characters. The default is 1.

- The HP-GL ES command is supported.
-
- ES [ space [, line]]
-
- extra space (7550 extension)
-
- ES adds to the space between characters and lines. The units are
- in character cells (1.5*width, 2*height). The allowed range is
- -1 to 1. -.3333 causes characters to touch.
-
- The HP-GL commands PM1 and PM2 now close the current subpolygon with
- the current pen up/down state.
