Select Current Pattern Command

The Select Current Pattern command identifies the type of pattern to be applied onto the destination.

EC * v # T

#=0 - Solid black (default) 1 - Solid white

2 - Shading pattern

3 - Cross-hatch pattern

4 - User-defined pattern

Default

=

0

Range

=

0 - 4 (values outside of range are ignored)

This command selects which type of pattern is applied. For values 2, 3, and 4, the shading level (Figure 13-4), cross-hatch pattern (Figure 13-5), or user-defined pattern number is identified by the Pattern ID command described earlier in this chapter.

Notes

together. Sending the current pattern (Select Current Pattern command) alone does not change the current pattern; the Pattern ID must be sent first. However, when selecting solid white (white rule) or solid black (black rule), only the Select Current Pattern command is required.

Once a current pattern is selected, that pattern applies to all images placed on the page until a new pattern is selected.
