Table 19-5 Example: Adapting the HP-GL/2 Coordinate System

to Match the PCL System in Portrait Orientation
IN;SP1;	Initialize HP-GL/2 command values and
	select pen number 1 (black). (The IN
	command moves the pen position from
	the anchor point to the HP-GL/2 origin,
	the lower-left corner of the PCL Picture
	Frame.)
SC0,3.3867,0,-3.3867,2	Set-up a user scale with a user-unit
	equal to 1/300 inch. Scale command
	type 2, the scale is the ratio of plotter
	units/user-units (1016 plotter
	units-per-inch/300 dots-per-inch =
	3.3867). The minus 2 Y-value changes
	the HP-GL/2 Y direction to match that of
	the PCL coordinate system.
IR0,100,0,100	Place P1 (point 0,0) at the top of the
	PCL picture frame.
PU0,0;	Lift the pen and move to (0,0) (upper left
	corner — since HP-GL/2 coordinate
	system now matches PCL coordinate
	system). Every subsequent pen move
	can be specified using the same
	coordinate numbers in either mode. The
	following commands demonstrate that
	the grids are synchronized.
PU300,300;PD600,600;	Lift the pen and move it to (300,300);
	then draw a line to (600,600). This
	draws a line at a 45° angle down from
	the starting point.
EC%1A	Enter the PCL mode with HP-GL/2’s
	pen position being inherited as PCL’s.
	CAP=(600,600).
EC*c300a4b0P	Draw a horizontal line (rule) that is 300
	PCL units wide by 4 PCL units. (Note
	that the cursor position after a rule is
	printed is at the beginning of the rule —
	in this case, (600,600).)
