CHAPTER 4 HP-GL/2 - 16

With type 1 scaling you can specify the percentage of unused space that is to lie below, or to the left of,

the isotropic area.

left specifies the percentage of unused space you want to lie to the left of the isotropic area and can be from 0

to 100. If you do not specify the value for left, it is automatically set to the default value = 50%.

bottom specifies the percentage of unused space you want to lie below the isotropic area and can be from 0 to

100. If you do not specify the value for bottom, it is automatically set to the default value = 50%.

You must either specify both left and bottom, or specify neither. However, the printer can only use one of

these two parameters at a time, depending where the extra space is on a page. ¥

If you do not specify a percentage for unused space to the left or at the bottom, the isotropic area is centred

in the rectangle defined by P1 and P2.

Type 2 scaling (point factor scaling) specifies the ratio of graphics units to user units and sets user units

coordinates for P1.

X

factor

specifies the number of graphics units that comprise a single user x-axis unit.

Y

factor

specifies the number of graphics units that comprise a single user y-axis unit.

Valid values for X

factor

and Y

factor

are real numbers.

An SC command remains in effect until another SC command is issued, until default settings are restored

with the DF command or until the printer is initialized with an IN command.
