Drawing Polygons

A polygon consists of one or more closed sequences of connected line segments (which may cross each other). Drawing polygons requires the use of the polygon mode. The Polygon Mode (PM) command tells the printer to store subsequent commands and coordinates in the polygon buffer before printing the shape. (Rectangles and wedges are polygons which have their own drawing commands; the printer automatically generates and stores the coordinates in the polygon buffer.)

You can use the following commands in polygon mode to create polygons. These commands are stored in the polygon buffer until they are replaced with another polygon or the printer is initialized.
