UL - User-defined line type 

UL [ 

i

g

 [...,]] [;] 

i

 ; unit type   

g

 : gap length 



This command allows you to define line types which you can then subsequently select with the LT 
command. 



i

 must be in the range 1-8. 

  i

 identifies the line type that is to be defined. 



The index parameter uses absolute values. 



g

 (the gap length) alternately specifies pen up and pen down parts of the defined line type.    A maximum of 

twenty line sections are permitted,    the first of which is a pen down section.    Numbers must be integers in 
the range 0~32767.    These numbers are converted to percentages by the LT command. 



Maximum definition for the gap of each line type is 20. 





The sum of the gap parameters must be greater than 0. 



Specifying an index number with no gap parameters sets the line type to the default pattern for that index 
number. 



Using the command with no parameter sets all line types to the defaults.

WU - Select unit for pen width 

WU [ 

t

 ] [;] 

t

 ; unit type 



This command specifies the pen width unit.    It applies to all pens. 



t

 must be either 0 or 1. 



If t is 0 the pen width parameter which accompanies subsequent PW commands will be treated as a reading 
in millimeters. 



If t is 1 the pen width parameter which accompanies subsequent PW commands will be treated as percentage 
of the distance between the scaling points P1 and P2.    The default width is 0.1% of the diagonal distance 
from P1 to P2.
