PA - Plot Absolute
PA [ X, Y [,...]] [;]
X ; X coordinate of the cursor movement destination
Y ; Y coordinate of the cursor movement destination
•
Coordinates are absolute values in user or current units.
•
Whether used with or without parameters the command establishes absolute plotting as the plotting mode.
•
The command moves the cursor to the specified coordinates, drawing straight lines, only when the pen is
down.
•
In symbol mode PA draws the specified symbol at each point in the parameter list.
•
In polygon mode the specified coordinate pairs are placed in the polygon buffer.
• If an odd number of coordinates are specified, the final, unpaired coordinate is ignored.

PR - Relative Coordinate Pen Move
PR [X, Y [,...]] [;]
X ; X coordinate of the cursor movement destination
Y ; Y coordinate of the cursor movement destination
•
Coordinates used are relative values in current units.
•
Whether used with or without parameters the command establishes relative plotting as the plotting mode.
•
The command moves the cursor to the specified coordinates, drawing straight lines, only when the pen is
down.
•
You can specify any number of coordinated pairs and plotting is performed in the order the coordinates are
specified.
•
In symbol mode PR draws the specified symbol at each point in the parameter list.
•
In polygon mode the specified coordinate pairs are placed in the polygon buffer.
• If an odd number of coordinates are specified, the final, unpaired coordinate is ignored.
