LT, Line Type

This command specifies the line pattern to be used when drawing lines. Use LT to vary lines and enhance your plot. Note that the ends of dashed line segments in a line pattern are affected by current line attributes (refer to the LA command earlier in this chapter).

The LT command applies to lines drawn by the AA, AR, AT, CI, EA, EP, ER, EW, FP, PA, PD, PE, PR, RA, RR, RT, and WG commands. Line types are drawn using the current line attributes set by the Line Attribute (LA) command. For example, if you have used LA to specify rounded ends, the printer draws each dash in a dashed line pattern with rounded ends.

zNo Parameters- Defaults the line type to solid and saves the previous line type, pattern length, and any unused portion of the pattern (residue).

zLine Type- Subsequent lines are drawn with the corresponding line pattern. Line patterns can be of fixed or adaptive type.
