If you specify P1 and P2 beyond the PCL Picture Frame, your drawing

 

is scaled with respect to those locations; however, only the portion of

 

the drawing fitting within the effective window is drawn.

 

 

Note

The specified P1/P2 percentages are converted to the equivalent

 

plotter unit coordinates. If the coordinate system orientation

 

subsequently changes (for example, by sending an RO command),

 

the plotter unit position is maintained with respect to the new

 

orientation. If an IP command without parameters is executed after

 

the axes have been rotated with the RO command, P1 and P2

 

locations change to reflect the rotation.

 

The locations of P1 and P2 interact with the following commands:
