PA, Plot Absolute

This command establishes absolute plotting and moves the pen to the specified absolute coordinates from the current pen position.

PA X,Y [,...;]

or

	PA [;]
	Parameter	Format	Functional Range	Default
	X,Y coordinates	current units	-230to 230 - 1	no default
	The printer interprets the parameters as follows:
	z No Parameters — Establishes absolute plotting for subsequent
	commands.
	z X,Y Coordinates — Specify the absolute location to which the
	pen moves. When you include more than one coordinate pair, the
	pen moves to each point in the order given, using the current pen
	up/down status. If the pen is up, PA moves the pen to the point; if
	the pen is down, PA draws a line to the point. Lines are drawn
	using the current line width, type, and attributes.
	z When you use the symbol mode (SM) command, PA draws the
	specified symbol at each X,Y coordinate. When you use the
	polygon mode (PM) command, the X,Y coordinates enter the
	polygon buffer for use when the polygon is edged or filled.
	z Coordinates are interpreted in current units: as user-units when
	scaling is on; as plotter units when scaling is off.
Note	If an odd number of coordinates is specified (in other words, an X
	coordinate without a corresponding Y coordinate), the printer ignores
	the last unmatched coordinate.
