USING  THE FILL WEDGE COMMAND

     
     The Fill Wedge ( WG ) command, defines and fills a
     wedge using the current pen, the current line and fill
     types. The WG command includes an automatic pen down,
     and when the operation is complete, the original pen
     location and up/down status are restored. The syntax
     for the WG command is as follows:
     
     WG radius,start angle,sweep angle,[chord angle];

     Language Technical Reference Manual.

     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.
     
     SC-3000,3000,-2000,2000,1;    Sets up user scaling,
                                   with P1 located at (-
                                   3000,-2000), and P2 being
                                   (3000,2000). The 1

                                   (0,0). Then selects fill
                                   type 3 (parallel lines),
                                   with 75 user-units
                                   between lines and the
                                   lines slanted 45 degrees.
                                   Then fills a wedge with
                                   the current fill pattern;
                                   using a radius of 1000
                                   user-units, a starting
                                   angle of 90 degrees and a
                                   sweep angle of 180
                                   degrees. The zero-degree
                                   reference point is on the
                                   left side of the circle

                                   (cross-hatching),
                                   specifying 60 user-units
                                   between lines with the
                                   lines tilted at a 45
                                   degree angle. Fills a
                                   wedge that has the same

                                   as the one above, but
                                   with a starting angle of
                                   330 degrees, and a sweep
                                   angle of 120 degrees.

                                   plotting and moves the
                                   pen 60 user-units to the
                                   left and 110 units up.
                                   Then selects fill type 1

     WG-1000,270,60;               Fills a wedge, using the
                                   fill type just specified
                                   above, with a radius of
