CHAPTER 4 HP-GL/2 - 27

r specifies the radius of the circle. A positive value for r places the 0º reference point onto the positive x-

axis and a negative value for r places the 0º reference point onto the negative x-axis.

The value for q1 is a clamped real number.

q1 specifies the wedge starting point relative to the 0 degree reference point.

When q1 is positive, the positive direction of the X axis relative to the current position is set at 0 degrees and

the start point is sought in the counterclockwise direction. The opposite occurs when q1 is negative: the
negative X axis is set at 0 degrees and the start point is sought by going clockwise.

qc specifies the angle of the wedge in degrees.

The value for qc is a clamped real number.

Plotting proceeds counterclockwise when qc is positive and clockwise when negative.

The value for qd must be an integer from -32,768 to +32,767.

When qd is not specified, the chord angle is the default value ( 5 degrees )

RA - Fill rectangle absolute

RA X, Y[;]

X ; X coordinate of opposite corner for the rectangle
Y ; Y coordinate of opposite corner for the rectangle

X and Y coordinates are absolute coordinates in current units.

Fill the rectangle formed by the current position and the opposite corner specified by X and Y.

After plotting, the cursor returns to its point of origin.

Plotting is performed whether the pen is up or down.
