A zero line type (0) draws only a dot at the X,Y coordinates for AA,

 

AR, AT, CI, PA, PD, PR, and RT commands. Zero pen down values

 

and zero length lines also produce dots. A dot is a one plotter unit

 

long vector, drawn using the current line end and pen width. (Dots

 

within lines are drawn at the correct angle, but zero length vectors

 

are drawn along the user’s current X-axis.)

 

Negative line types (-1 - -8)are adaptive line types. The pattern

 

length is automatically adjusted so that each line contains one or

 

more complete patterns.

 

Line patterns are composed of alternate pen down and pen up

 

moves which are percentages of the pattern length (the first

 

percentage is always pen down).

 

99 (LT99) restores the previous line type (and residue if it is a

 

fixed-line type).

 

 

Note

If a solid line type is selected (LT;) when the LT99 command is issued,

 

and the current pen position has not changed, the previously selected

 

line type can be invoked using LT99. LT99 is ignored when a

 

non-solid line type is in effect, or if the pen is in a different position

 

than when the previous non-solid line ended. An example using this

 

command is to print a line in a non-solid line type, followed by a

 

rectangle in solid black; beginning at the end point of the previous

 

line, use LT99 to print another line in the previous non-solid line type.

 

Sending any of the following commands while plotting with a solid line

 

 

type clears the previous line type and a subsequent (LT99) has no

 

effect:
