Command defaults (Range) Description ------------------------------ ----------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- AA x, y, a [,b]; Arc Absolute): Angle is a floating point # (requires non integer value) Draws an arc with the center at (X,Y) and a positive angle creates a counter-clockwise arc. If the chord angle is specified, this will be the number of degrees used for stepping around the arc. If no value is given then a default value of five degrees is used. AR Dx, Dy, a [, b]; Arc Relative): Angle is a floating point # (requires non integer value)Draws an arc with the center at offset (X,Y) . A positive angle creates a counter-clockwise arc. If the chord angle is specified, this will be the number of degrees used for stepping around the arc. If no value is given then a default value of five degrees is used.

Questions:
Please help me to differentiate between a file in the HPGL format and HPGL-2 format.I have come across files with .hpgl,.hpg extentions but how do we identify whether a given file is in the HPGL format or HPGL-2 format.Please help me in this regard.
Thanks and Regards
Arun Kumar
James Newton replies: The difference is in the commands that will be inside the file. There are some commands that were introduced in HPGL2 that did not exist in HPGL. Sadly, I do not have a list of what commands those are. If you do find such a list, please consider sharing it with us here.+
James Newton replies: I do have a partial list here: HPGL2 commands not supported in HPGL+
We are using a PCL macro to make a form for paystubs on a payroll check printer. I need to move the boxes that are drawn with HP-GL down the page about a quarter inch in order for everything to line up correctly. I've tried to find out on my own how to accomplish this, but haven't been able to get the desired result. Can you tell me what command would accomplish this and where to insert it into the code? Thank you
jgamroth
James Newton replies: The HPGL must be modified to change the locations where it prints the form elements. This is not a small job. Contact us directly for a quote.+
http://www.tanyageo.com Hi,
I would like to cut apparel patterns thru a cutting Plotter.
A sample file is given below. This is intended to cut a rectangle. But It plots a rectangle but does NOT cut. Pls guide me what command to use for enabling the blade movement.

Thank you,
ganesan.
James Newton replies: There is no standard command in HPGL (that I am aware of) to enable cutting vs plotting. The command you are looking for is probably specific to the machine you are using. Can you find a sample file that does cut?+
