The Fill Rectangle Absolute (RA) and Fill Rectangle Relative (RR)
commands, both discussed later in this chapter, fill their rectangles
with the default or current fill pattern. You may also want to edge (or
outline) the rectangle for better image definition with some fill types.
The following command sequence draws two filled rectangles: one
edged and one not.
Table 21-4 Example: Filled Rectangles
?E Reset the printer.
?%0B Enter HP-GL/2 mode.
IN; Initialize HP-GL/2 mode.
SP1; Select pen number 1. Even though there is no
physical pen, the SP command must be used to
enable printing.
PA0,0; Specify absolute plotting and move to location
(0,0).
FT3; Specify fill type 3 (hatching—parallel lines).
RR1500,1000; Fill a rectangular shape with the currently active
fill pattern. The lower left corner of the rectangle
should be the current location (0,0), and the
upper right corner should be 1500 plu in the X
direction and 1000 plu in the Y direction from
the starting location.
