CHAPTER 4 HP-GL/2 - 16 



With 

type

 1 scaling you can specify the percentage of unused space that is to lie below,    or to the left of,   

the isotropic area. 



left

 specifies the percentage of unused space you want to lie to the left of the isotropic area and can be from 0 

to 100.    If you do not specify the value for 

left

,    it is automatically set to the default value = 50%. 



bottom

 specifies the percentage of unused space you want to lie below the isotropic area and can be from 0 to 

100.    If you do not specify the value for 

bottom

,    it is automatically set to the default value = 50%.



You must either specify both 

left

 and 

bottom

, or specify neither.    However, the printer can only use one of 

these two parameters at a time, depending where the extra space is on a page. ¥ 



If you do not specify a percentage for unused space to the 

left 

or at the 

bottom

,    the isotropic area is centred 

in the rectangle defined by P1 and P2. 



Type

 2 scaling (point factor scaling) specifies the ratio of graphics units to user units and sets user units 

coordinates for P1. 



X

factor

specifies the number of graphics units that comprise a single user x-axis unit. 



Y

factor

 specifies the number of graphics units that comprise a single user y-axis unit. 



Valid values for X

factor

and Y

factor

are real numbers. 



An SC command remains in effect until another SC command is issued,    until default settings are restored 
with the DF command or until the printer is initialized with an IN command.
