HP-GL/2 Polygon Group (continued) Polygon Mode Allows creation of user-defined polygons in the polygon buffer. PM polygon definition [;] polygon definition = 0 (Clears polygon buffer and enters polygon mode) 1 (Closes current polygon or subpolygon and remains in polygon mode) 2 (Closes current polygon or subpolygon and exits polygon mode) Fill Rectangle Absolute Fills a rectangle specified with absolute coordinates. RA X,Y [;] X,Y = Coordinates of opposite corner of rectangle. Fill Rectangle Relative Fills a rectangle specified with relative coordinates. RR X,Y [;] X,Y = Coordinates of opposite corner of rectangle. Fill Wedge Defines and fills a wedge-shaped polygon. WG radius,start angle,sweep angle[,chord angle] [;] Line and Fill Attributes Group Anchor Corner Specifies the starting point for fill patterns.
