HP 5961-0509 manual RO, Rotate Coordinate System, Angle of Rotation, RO command

RO, Rotate Coordinate System

This command rotates the printer’s coordinate system relative to the default HP-GL/2 coordinate system, in the following increments of rotation: 90°, 180°, and 270°. Use RO to orient your drawing vertically or horizontally, or to reverse the orientation.

RO angle[;] or

RO [;]

Parameter	Format	Functional Range	Default
angle	clamped integer	0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°	0°

The printer interprets the command parameters as follows:

zNo Parameter — Defaults the orientation of the coordinate system to 0°. Equivalent to (RO0). This is the same as PCL’s current orientation.

zAngle — Specifies the degree of rotation:

0 Sets the orientation to PCL’s current orientation.

90 Rotates and shifts the coordinate system 90 degrees in a positive angle of rotation from PCL’s current orientation.

180 Rotates and shifts the coordinate system 180 degrees in a positive angle of rotation from PCL’s current orientation.

270 Rotates and shifts the coordinate system 270 degrees in a positive angle of rotation from PCL’s current orientation.

	Angle of Rotation
Note	A positive angle of rotation is in the direction of the +X-axis to the
	+Y-axis as shown below. (A negative angle of rotation is not allowed in
	the RO command.)
