PENCIL
[GREG1\]PENCIL [N] [/COLOUR C] [/DASHED D] [/WEIGHT W] [/DEFAULT]
Selects virtual pen N and defines its attributes in terms of colour (if
supported by the device), dashed pattern and weight (thickness). Up to
16 pens can be defined (0-15). Most plotting commands uses the current
pen. The major exception is RGMAP which uses the pen 0 (solid and fore-
ground color by default) and 15 (dotted and blue by default). Some com-
mands also ignore the dashed patterns, in particular all labels and the
BOX command.
- The dashed pattern D must be in range 1 to 7, 1 means solid lines.
- The weight factor W must be in range 1 to 5.
- The colour index C is an integer in range -1 to 23. The colors 0 to
7 are FIXED, the last 16 are user-definable, the color -1 means in-
version. See the topic COLORS for more information on pen colors.
PENCIL N /DEFAULT reset default attributes to Pen number N. PENCIL /DE-
FAULT reset default attributes for all Pens, as defined at program ini-
tialization.
