FT - Fill Type
FT n (, d (, q ))[;]
n ; Fill type
•
Sets the fill type, interval, and angle when filling an area. This setting is effective for the commands FP,
RA, RR, WG and CF.
• The value for n must be a clamped integer number

•
option 1 for n=3 or 4 is the setting for the interval of the lines in the fill. This is specified in current units.
•
If d is omitted or 0, it is set to default value which is 1% of the diagonal distance between P1 and P2.
•
Option 2 for n=3 and 4 is the setting of the angle for the lines in degrees.
•
If q is omitted, the fill angle already specified will be used.
•
The value of q is a clamped real number.
•
Option 1 for n=10 is the setting for the shading density. It is specified as a percentage from 0 to 100.
•
Option 2 for n=10 is ignored.
•
Option 1 for n=11 specifies the HP-GL/2 user-defined raster fill pattern. This uses the index number which
is defined by the RF command.
•
Option 2 for n=11 is ignored.
•
Option 1 for n=21 specifies the PCL cross-hatch patterns. There are 6 types of PCL cross-hatch patterns.
• Option 2 for n=21 is ignored.
•
Option 1 for n=22, the PCL user-defined patterns defined by ESC*c#W command with a unique ID code.
•
Option 2 for n=22 is ignored.
•
Option 1 for n=130, the 64 gray scale shading density. It is specified as a percentage from 0 to 100.
• Option 2 for n=130 is ignored.
