FT - Fill type

FT [ n [, d [, q]]] [;]

n : Fill type

d : Fill interval (interval between the parallel lines of the area being filled)

q : Fill angle (degrees )

•Sets the fill type, interval and angle when filling an area.

•The value for n is a clamped integer number.

Solid lines (bi-directional fill)

Solid lines (single direction fill)

Parallel lines

Crosshatching

•The fill interval when n is 1 or 2 is the interval set by the pen thickness (PT) instruction.

•Any value given for d when n is 1 or 2 will be ignored.

•If d is omitted, the fill interval already specified will be used.

•If d is 0, the default value will be used ( 1% of distance from P1 to P2. )

•The value of d is a clamped real number .

•If q is omitted, the fill angle already specified will be used.

•The value of q is a clamped real number.

LT - Line type selection

LT [, n [, p ]] [;]

n ; Line pattern number

p ; Line pattern length (percentage or millimeters of distance between P1 and P2)

•Specifies the line type and pattern length.

•When the n parameter field is omitted a solid line is selected.

•When the p parameter field is omitted the pattern length is 4% of the distance between P1 and P2 (default value ).

•The value of n is a clamped integer number.

•The value of p is a clamped real number from 0.0000 to 127.9999.

•When p is omitted the previously set line pattern length is used.

Default :Solid line

:For straight line, start and end points are plotted.

:For an arc, plotting takes place for every chord angle that is set.
