CHAPTER 9 HP-GL - 23
DR - Relative direction
DR [ run, rise ] [;]
run : X direction component
rise : Y direction component
• A percentage of the distance in the X and Y directions between P1 and P2 is used as the units
• Specifies the character plot direction.
• Values for the run and rise are clamped real numbers.
• The instruction is ignored when values for both run and rise are 0.
• When the parameter field is omitted, the default value (horizontal direction) is used.

rise = 60%

CP - Character plot
CP X,Y [;]
X ; the number of text spaces the pen position is moved.
Y ; the number of text lines the pen position is moved.
• Moves the cursor the specified number of characters.
• Values for X and Y are clamped real numbers.
• When the parameter field is omitted, the cursor is not moved along the X-axis but it is moved 1 character in
the negative direction along the Y-axis (identical to executing CP 0, -1;).

SI - Set absolute character size
SI [ width, height ] [;]
width : the width in centimeters of printed characters
height : the height in centimeters of printed characters
• Specifies the size of characters to be plotted.
• Values for width and height are clamped real numbers.
• When the parameter field is omitted, the default values are used (width: 0.1879 cm, height: 0.2690 cm).
