Select Current Pattern Command
The Select Current Pattern command identifies the type of pattern to
be applied onto the destination.
E
C
* v # T
# =0 - Solid black (default)
1 - Solid white
2 - Shading pattern
3 - Cross-hatch pattern
4 - User-defined pattern
Default = 0
Range = 0 - 4 (values outside of range are ignored)
This command selects which type of pattern is applied. For values 2,
3, and 4, the shading level (Figure 13-4), cross-hatch pattern (Figure
13-5), or user-defined pattern number is identified by the Pattern ID
command described earlier in this chapter.
Notes For selecting or changing the current pattern, the Select Current
Pattern (
E
C
*v#T
) and the Pattern ID (
E
C
*c#G
) commands work
together. Sending the current pattern (Select Current Pattern
command) alone does not change the current pattern; the Pattern
ID must be sent first. However, when selecting solid white (white
rule) or solid black (black rule), only the Select Current Pattern
command is required.
Once a current pattern is selected, that pattern applies to all images
placed on the page until a new pattern is selected.
