DRAWING BASIC WEDGES

     
     The wedge commands, Edge Wedge ( EW ) and Fill Wedge (
     WG ), use your current pen location as the center point
     of the wedge. You then specify the radius, the start
     angle, and the sweep angle to complete the wedge. The
     angles are measured counterclockwise, zero at the 3 o-
     clock position.  For more information see the PCL 5
     Printer Language Technical Reference Manual.
     
     Syntax for the EW command is as follows:
     EW[radius],[start angle],[sweep angle];
     
     LEGEND: Ec = [Ctrl] [P] [Esc] in DOS EDIT.
     
     
     EcE                           Resets the printer.
     
     Ec%0B                         Enters HP-GL/2 mode.
     
     IN;                           Initializes HP-GL/2 mode.
     
     SP1;                          Selects pen number 1,
                                   (black). Even though
                                   there is no physical pen,
                                   the SP command must be
                                   used to enable printing.
     
     PA2500,3500;                  Specifies absolute
                                   plotting and moves to
                                   location (2500,3500).
     
     EW600,90,60;                  Draws the outline of a
                                   wedge, using the current
                                   pen location (2500,3500)
                                   as the center point of
                                   the wedge. The wedge has
                                   a radius of 600 plotter
                                   units, and begins at 90
                                   degrees from the default,
                                   zero degree, reference
                                   point, and "sweeps" for
                                   60 degrees,
                                   counterclockwise.
     
     Ec%0A                         Enters the PCL mode.
     
     EcE                           Sends a reset to end the
                                   job and eject the page.
