PA, Plot Absolute This command establishes absolute plotting and moves the pen to the specified absolute coordinates from the current pen position. PA X,Y [,...;] or PA [;] Parameter Format Functional Range Default X,Y coordinates current units -230 to 230 - 1 no default Note The printer interprets the parameters as follows: z No Parameters - Establishes absolute plotting for subsequent commands. z X,Y Coordinates - Specify the absolute location to which the pen moves. When you include more than one coordinate pair, the pen moves to each point in the order given, using the current pen up/down status. If the pen is up, PA moves the pen to the point; if the pen is down, PA draws a line to the point. Lines are drawn using the current line width, type, and attributes. z When you use the symbol mode (SM) command, PA draws the specified symbol at each X,Y coordinate. When you use the polygon mode (PM) command, the X,Y coordinates enter the polygon buffer for use when the polygon is edged or filled. z Coordinates are interpreted in current units: as user-units when scaling is on; as plotter units when scaling is off. If an odd number of coordinates is specified (in other words, an X coordinate without a corresponding Y coordinate), the printer ignores the last unmatched coordinate. 20-30 The Vector Group EN
