CHAPTER 4 HP-GL/2 - 31
FT - Fill type
FT n(, d(, q))[;]
n ; Fill type d ; option 1 q ; option 2
• Sets the fill type, interval and angle when filling an area. This setting is effective for the commands FP, RA,
RR, WG and CF.
• The value for n must be a clamped integer number
Fill type
Description Option 1 Option 2
1 Solid black (bi-directional fill)
2 Solid black (single directional fill)
3 hatching (parallel line) fill interval fill angle
4 cross-hatching fill interval fill angle
10 shading shading level
11 HP-GL/2 user-defined raster-fill index
21 PCL cross-hatching pattern type
22 PCL user-defined pattern ID
130 shading (one of sixty-four gray scales) Shading level
• option 1 for n=3 or 4 is the setting for the interval of the lines in the fill. This is specified in current units.
• If d is omitted or 0, it is set to the default value which is 1% of the diagonal distance between P1 and P2.
• Option 2 for n=3 and 4 is the setting of the angle for the lines in degrees.
• If q is omitted, the fill angle already specified will be used.
• The value of q is a clamped real number.
• Option 1 for n=10 is the setting for the shading density. It is specified as a percentage from 0 to 100.
• Option 2 for n=10 is ignored.
• Option 1 for n=11 specifies the HP-GL/2 user-defined raster fill pattern. This uses the index number which is
defined by the RF command.
• Option 2 for n=11 is ignored.
• Option 1 for n=21 specifies the PCL cross-hatch patterns. There are 6 types of PCL cross-hatch patterns.
• Option 2 for n=21 is ignored.
• Option 1 for n=22, the PCL user-defined patterns defined by the ESC*c#W command with a unique ID code.
• Option 2 for n=22 is ignored.
• Option 1 for n=130, the 64 gray scale shading density. It is specified as a percentage from 0 to 100.
• Option 2 for n=130 is ignored.
