PLOTTING SEQUENCES
All vector plotting sequences are initiated by Ec * p.Table D-6lists the commands that can be
used within a plotting sequence.

DESCRIPTION
lift
the pen
lower the pen
use graphics cursor position as new point
draw a single dot at the current pen position
set relocatable origin = current pen position
use ASCII absolute format
use ASCII incremental format
use
ASCn relocatable format
use
binary absolute format
use binary short incremental format
use
binary long incremental format
use
binary relocatable format
NOP/synch
Mter Ec * p has been sent, the drawing format is normally specified before data is sent.
If no format is specified,ASCII absolute is assumed.There is no explicit draw vectorcommand.
When enough
parameter bytes to specify a single end point have been received (the number
depends on the format used), the pen is moved from its current position to the new end point.
If the pen is down, a vector will be drawn. If the pen is up, the pen is moved to the new point
(without drawing a vector) and lowered. The new end point becomes the current pen position.
