SDP — Store Dash Pattern
Format
SDP pattern-number, dash1, space1, dash2, space2, ..., dash10, space10;
Parameters
pattern-number:
number from 11 to 20
dash1 ... 10:
length of dash
space1 ... 10:
space between dashes
Function
The SDP command generates a new dash pattern used by the DPAT (dashed pattern)
command for stroking a path. The dash and space values represent the lengths of
alternating black and white segments for stroking the line segment in the path, using the
unit value designated by the UNIT command.
For example, SDP 11, 2, 2, 5, 5; stores the following dash pattern in pattern
number 11:
The maximum number of pairs of dash and space
allowe
d for a SDP command is 10. If
the dash pattern begins with a space, 0 must be specified for the first dash value (dash1).
To end the pattern with a dash, the last space value may be omitted.
The user-defined dash patterns are valid until another SDP command changes the current
definition or until the printing system is switched off.
