!R! Text ’A’; Cir 1; Exit; 
Each of these commands prints the capital letter  ‘A’ inside a circle. In the printout shown 
above, the unit is centimeters. Th e reason that the letter ‘A’ is off center in the circle is 
that the cursor is not lo cated at the center of the circle, bu t at left corner of the letter ‘A’.
The command  !R! TEXT ’a’; CIR 1; EXIT; 
prints a lowercase  a because the letter occurs  inside a character string. 
The sole exception to upper and lowercase us age...

Graphics Tutorial
PRESCRIBE provides a wide variety of graphics operators, allowing you to easily con-
struct and print almost any  imaginable shape or pattern.
This chapter introduces the various graphics concepts of PRESCRIBE, and illustrates 
how to use many of its graphic functions. It  defines standard graphics mode, path mode 
graphics, and raster graphics.  It explains how to use predefined fill patterns, how to 
define your own fill patterns, and intro duces ways in which you can...

Standard Graphics 
The standard graphics mode provides a number of operators for constructing a variety of 
filled shapes and lines. Using st andard mode graphics, you can: 
• Draw lines of any desired width 
• Draw circles and rectangles 
• Draw a variety of filled shap es, including boxes and arcs 
• Draw pie charts 
This is referred to as the standard graphics  mode because it is a standard feature of all 
versions of PRESCRIBE.

Figure 2. 1.  Result of Draw Commands: Absolute Lines 
The initial !R! command switches the printing system to the PRESCRIBE mode. 
Remember that this command must alwa ys precede each sequence of PRESCRIBE com-
mands. 
The RES (RESet) clears the current page fr om printing system memory and re-estab-
lishes the printing system’s permanent defaults. Although you would not include this 
command in every sequence of  PRESCRIBE commands, we include it in this example to 
ensure consistent results. As a...

Figure 2. 2.  Result of Draw Commands: Zero-relative Lines 
The first two lines switch the printing syst em to the PRESCRIBE mode, reset printing 
system parameters, and set the line width to 0.01 inch. On the third line, the MZP (Move 
to Zero-relative Position) differs from th e MAP (Move to Absolute Position) command 
in one respect: the position specified is in relation to the top and left edge page limits of 
the page, rather than in relation to the top and left page...

Figure 2. 3.  Result of Draw Commands: Relative Lines 
In this command sequence, the PRESCRIBE mode begins with the !R!, resets the print-
ing system defaults to permanent settings with RES;, and establishes a pen width of 0.01 
inches with the SPD 0.01;. 
The MRP (Move to Relative Position) and DRP (Draw to Relative Position) specify 
positions in relation to the cursor’s current position. 
When the command sequen ce starts, the cursor is located  at the intersection of the left 
and top margins....

Figure 2. 4.  Result of Draw Commands: Lines in Angles   
The first two lines of this command sequence initiates the PRESCRIBE mode, resets 
printing system defaults to permanent settings, and sets the line width to 0.01 inches. 
Then the MZP command on line 3  moves the cursor to a point 5 inches to the right of the 
left edge limit and 4 inches below the top edge limit. 
Next, DRPA 2, 149; on line 4 draws a line two inches long at an angle of 149 degrees. 
The angle is...

Figure 2. 5.  An Example of a Box   
Line 1 places the printing system in the PRESCRIBE mode and resets printing system 
parameters. The UNIT C; command on the second  line sets the unit of measurement to 
centimeters, and the SPD (Set Pen Diameter)  command on line 3 sets the line width to 
0.1 centimeters. (If you omit these two comma nds, the printing system will print using 
the default unit, inches; and the default line width, 3 dots.) 
Next, the MZP command on line four moves the cursor to the...
