Chapter 2 Graphics Tutorial Standard Graphics The standard graphics mode provides a number of operators for constructing a variety of filled shapes and lines. Using standard mode graphics, you can: • Draw lines of any desired width • Draw circles and rectangles • Draw a variety of filled shapes, including boxes and arcs • Draw pie charts This is referred to as the standard graphics mode because it is a standard feature of all versions of PRESCRIBE. Drawing Lines PRESCRIBE provides a number of Draw to commands for drawing lines in both standard and path modes. These include: DAP (draw to absolute position) Draws a line to an absolute position in a Cartesian coordinate system whose origin (0,0) is at the intersection of the left and top margins. DZP (draw to zero-relative position) Draws a line to an absolute position in a Cartesian coordinate system whose origin (0,0) is at the intersection of the left and top edge limits of the paper. DRP (draw to relative position) Draws a line to a position specified as a horizontal and ver- tical displacement from the current cursor position. DRPA (draw to relative Draws a line to a position that is specified as a distance and position specified by angle) angle from the current cursor position. Examples of these commands are given in the sections that follow. Lines to Absolute Position Begin with a simple task such as drawing a line between two arbitrary points on a page. Use the MAP and DAP commands to specify positions relative to the top and left margins. This task has several distinct steps: selecting a line width, determining the starting point of the line, and determining the end point of the line. The following command sequence demonstrates this process. !R! RES; STM 0.5; SLM 0.5; SPD 0.01; MAP 0.5, 1; DAP 2, 0.5; PAGE; EXIT; 2-2
