HOME (PHOME)
H
Lifts the pen and returns it to the origin (home
position).
INITIALIZE (HSET)
I
Sets the current pen location as the origin
(x = 0, y = 0).
DRAW (LINE)
Dx, y, . . . xn, yn
( - 9 9 9 ^ x , y < 999)
Draws lines from the current pen location to
coordinates ( x j , y j ) , then to coordinates
(
x
2 ' Y2 )>
a n
d so forth.
RELATIVE DRAW
(RLINE)
J A X ,
Ay . . . Axn, Ayn
( - 9 9 9 < AX, Ay < 9 9 9 )
Draws lines from the current pen location to
relative coordinates (axj , Ayj), then to relative
coordinates (AX 2
, AY
2 ) and so forth.
MOVE (MOVE)
Mx, y
(—999 < x, y < 999)
Lifts the pen and moves it to coordinates (x, y).
RELATIVE MOVE
(RMOVE)
R A X ,
Ay
( - 9 9 9 < A X ,
Ay <
999)
Lifts the pen and moves it to relative coordinates
( A X ,
Ay).
COLOR CHANGE
(PCOLOR)
Cn (n = 0 to 3) Changes the pen color to n.
SCALE SET
Sn (n = 0 to 63) Specifies the character scale.
ALPHA ROTATE Qn (n = 0 to 3)
Specifies the direction in which characters are
printed.
PRINT
P c ! c
2
c
3
. . . cn (n = °°)
Prints characters.
AXIS (AXIS)
Xp, q, r (p = 0 or 1)
(q = - 9 9 9 to 999)
( r = 1 to 255)
Draws an X axis when p = 1 and a Y axis when
p = 0. q specifies the scale pitch and r specifies
the number of scale marks to be drawn.
A. 6. 3. 2 Command format
There are 5 types of command formats as shown below.
1. Command character only (without parameters)
"A", H , I
2. Command character plus one parameter
"L", "C", S , Q
3. Command character plus pairs of parameters
D , J , M , R
, is used to separate parameters, and a CR code is used to end the parameter list.
4. Command plus character string
P
The character string is terminated with a CR code.
