USING EDGE WEDGE WITH PIE CHARTS
The Edge Wedge ( EW ) command defines and edges a wedge
using the current pen, line type and attributes to
outline a wedge. When the command is completed the
original pen location and up/down status of the pen are
restored. For more information see the PCL 5 Printer
Language Technical Reference Manual.
LEGEND: Ec = [Ctrl] [P] [Esc] in DOS EDIT.
EcE Resets the printer.
Ec%0B Enters HP-GL/2 mode.
IN; Initializes HP-GL/2 mode.
SP1; Selects pen number 1,
(black). Even though
there is no physical pen,
the SP command must be
used to enable printing.
SC-3000,3000,-2000,2000,1; Enters the scaling mode,
specifying P1 as (-3000,-
2000) and P2 as
(3000),2000), using
isotropic scaling.
(Isotropic scaling means
the X and Y units are the
same size.)
PA0,0; Specifies absolute
plotting, then moves to
(0,0).
EW-1000,90,180; Draws a wedge section
with a radius of 1000
user-units, a start angle
of 90 degrees and a sweep
angle of 180 degrees. The
minus sign before the
radius (-1000) sets the
zero-degree reference
point to the left side of
the drawing.
EW-1000,330,120; Using the same center
point and zero-degree
reference point this
draws a second wedge
section outline starting
at 330 degrees and sweeps
120 degrees.
PR-60,110; Moves the cursor 60 user-
units to the left and 110
user-units up.
EW-1000,270,60; From the new center point
location, draws a wedge
using a negative zero-
reference point, starting
at 270 degrees and
sweeping for 60 degrees.
Ec%0A Enters the PCL mode.
EcE Sends a reset to end the
job and eject the page.
