EP - Edge Polygon
EP [;]
•
This command plots the outline of the polygon currently stored in the polygon buffer.
•
The command only plots between points defined when the pen was down.
•
The command plots an outline irrespective of whether the pen is currently up or down.
•
The command does not affect the data in the polygon buffer.
•
On completion of the plot the cursor returns to the original poition.
EW - Edge Wedge
EW r,q1,qc(,qd)[;]
r ; Radius in current units
q1; Start point angle
qc ; Arc angle
qd ; Chord angle
•
Plots a wedge centred on the current position with radius r, start point angle q1, arc angle qc, and chord
angle qd.
•
After plotting, the cursor returns to its point of origin.
•
Plotting is performed whether the pen is up or down.
•
You should use this command with the type "isotropic". Anisotropic type may make the wedge stretch.
•
r specifies the radius of the circle. A positive value for r places the 0° reference point onto the positive x-
axis and a negative value for r places the 0° reference point onto the negative x-axis.
•
The value for q1 is a clamped real number.

•
q1 specifies the wedge starting point relative to the 0 degree reference point.
•
When q1 is positive, the positive direction of the X axis relative to the current position is set at 0 degrees,
and the start point is sought in the counterclockwise direction. The opposite occurs when q1 is negative: the
negative X axis is set at 0 degrees, and the start point is sought by going clockwise.
•
qc specifies the angle of the wedge in degrees.
•
The value for qc is a clamped real number.
