HP-GL Specifications
The GL/2 and TIFF filter modules that are included in GL/2 and TIFF filter
products emulate the HP-GL commands of HP7550A. However, the command
syntax differs (as shown below) according to the settings of the GL/2 and TIFF
modules.
HP-GL command syntax
The syntax of HP-GL commands is as follows: a section containing two alpha-
4
betical characters, a parameter section (certain commands only), and a termina-
tor section.
If you specify multiple parameters at the end, a separator must be inserted be-
tween each parameter.
The HP-GL/2 filter can use the separators and terminators shown below.
