HP-GL/2 Plot Horizontal Size

This command specifies the horizontal size of the HP-GL/2 drawing being imported.

EC * c # K

#=The horizontal size in inches

Default

=

width of the currently selected picture frame

Range

=

0 to 32767 (valid to 4 decimal places)

The horizontal HP-GL/2 plot size determines the horizontal scaling factor used to fit the drawing into the PCL Picture Frame. For example, if the horizontal HP-GL/2 plot size is specified as 12 inches and the PCL Picture Frame width is 4 inches, the horizontal scaling factor would be 3:1; the horizontal component of the image would be reduced to one-third its original size to fit into the PCL Picture Frame.

A parameter value of zero or a reset, page length, paper size, or orientation command defaults the HP-GL/2 plot size to the width of the currently selected picture frame, resulting in no scaling.

Example:

If the original HP-GL/2 drawing is 8.5 inches wide, send:
