PW-Pen width
PW n[;]
w ; width (unit = 1/300 inch)
• This command specifies the width of the currently selected pen.
• The value of w is an integer number from 1 to 10.
SM - Symbol mode
SM c[;]
c ; ASCII character or symbol code
• The command specifies the symbol to be drawn.
• When the PA, PR, PD or PU instruction is used, the specified symbol will be drawn at the end of each
vector.
• The specified symbol will be drawn at the end of each vector even if the pen is up when the PA or PR
instructions are used.
• Omitting the parameter field cancels the symbol mode.

SP - Select pen
SP [ n ] [;]
n ; Pen number
• Selects the pen specified by the pen number.
• The value for n must be an integer from 0 to 6.
TL - Tick length
TL l1(,l2)[;]
1-Length of ticks in the positive X- and Y-axes
2-Length of ticks in the negative X- and Y-axes
• Tick length is a percentage of the vertical and horizontal distances between P1 and P2.
• Sets the length of tick marks for the XT and YT instructions.
• Values for
1 and 2 are clamped real numbers.
• When the parameter field is omitted, the default values for tick length are used, for both l1 and l2, these are
0.5% of the horizontal and vertical distances between P1 and P2.
