HP 5961-0509 manual FT, Fill Type

Note

Note

The relationship of the +X-axis to the +Y-axis (and the -Y-axis) can be changed as a result of scaling point or scaling factor changes, thus changing the direction of a positive (and negative) angle of rotation.

Types 3 and 4 use the current pen and line type defined by the Line Type, Pen Width, and Line Attribute commands.

If the spacing between lines is defined in plotter units (no Scale command used), turning scaling on or changing the locations of P1 and P2 has no affect on the spacing. If, however, the spacing is defined in user-units, the spacing fluctuates with changes in the

location of P1 and P2 (the Xmin,Ymin and Xmax,Ymax points if scaling is isotropic) or subsequent scaling command changes. Turning off

scaling causes the spacing to be frozen in the plotter-unit equivalent of the current user-unit value. If the spacing is a percentage of the diagonal distance from P1 to P2, the percentage is maintained and spacing fluctuates with changes to P1 and P2 (the Xmin,Ymin and Xmax,Ymax points if scaling is isotropic).

The end points of HP-GL/2 hatching fills are drawn with the current line cap. Lines are not clipped to the polygon.

For fill type 10, the option1 parameter specifies the level of shading. The level is specified as a percentage from 0 to 100. The following illustration shows the available shading patterns.
