L t c

LT type [, pattern length [, mode ;]]

This comlmandspecifies the line pattern to be used when drawing lines

When no parameters are specified, this command selects a solid line and saves the previous line type, pattern length and any unused portion of the pattern. If there are parameters, a pattern is selected as follows.

Patterns are described by the length of dashes and gaps, as a percentage of the pattern length, starting with a dash. 07crepresents a dot. Patterns and their codes are:

code pattern

o0 (not a line, only one point)

1 0 100”

25050

37030

48010010

570101010

6501010101010

77010010010

850100101010010

If the pattern code is negative, from –8 to –1, the pattern corresponds to the absolute value of the code, but the pattern is “adaptive” and its length is adjusted (up or down) to fit one or more complete patterns.

After a solid line has been selected by specifying LT without parameters, pattern code 99 restores the previous line pattern and any residual pattern. LT99 is ignored when anon-solid line pattern is selected. While plotting with a solid line pattern, the following commands clear the previous line type and any residual pattern: AC, DF. IN, 1P,IR, IW, LA, LT, PW, RF, RO, SC, SP, UL and WU.

The pattern length is measured as a percentage of the distance between P1 and P2 if mode = O,or in millimeters of mode = 1.

If not specified, the current values of pattern length and mode are used.
