9-44 HP PCL Graphics Commands
The only difference between the WG command and the EW (edge wedge) command is that
the WG command produces a filled wedge, and the EW command produces an outlined
wedge.
Edge Wedge (EW)
This command outlines any wedge. Use the EW command to draw sections of pie charts.

The EW command defines and edges a wedge using the current pen, fill type, and line
types. The EW command includes an automatic pen down. When the operation completes,
the original pen location and up/down status are restored.
The only difference between the EW command and the WG (fill wedge) command is that
the EW command produces an outlined wedge, and the WG command produces a filled
wedge.
Polygon Mode (PM)
This command enters polygon mode for defining shapes, such as block letters or any
unique area, and exits for subsequent filling and/or edging. Fill polygons using the fill
polygon (FP) command; outline polygons using the edge polygon (EP) command.
PM polygon definition [ ; ] or PM[ ; ]

In polygon mode, you define the area of the polygon(s) using graphics commands. These
commands (and associated X, Y coordinates) are stored in the polygon buffer. The polygon
is not printed until you exit polygon mode and fill and/or outline the area.
