Using the Polygon Buffer

As mentioned, a buffer is a temporary storage area for information. The polygon buffer collects the commands and coordinates that define a polygon you want to print. This polygon remains in the buffer until replaced by another polygon, or until the buffer is cleared by initializing the printer. Some commands use the polygon buffer automatically, while other commands require that you enter the polygon mode. The following commands use the polygon buffer, but do not allow you to enter polygon mode first.
