FT - Fill type 

FT [ n [, d [, q]]] [;] 

n : Fill type 
d : Fill interval (interval between the parallel lines of the area being filled) 
q : Fill angle (degrees ) 

 

 

Sets the fill type,  interval and angle when filling an area.  

 

The value for n is a clamped integer number. 
  

Solid lines (bi-directional fill) 

  

Solid lines (single direction fill) 

  

Parallel  lines 

  

Crosshatching 

 

The fill interval when n is 1 or 2 is the interval set by the pen thickness (PT) instruction. 

 

Any value given for d when n is 1 or 2 will be ignored. 

 

If d is omitted,  the fill interval already specified will be used. 

 

If d is 0,  the default value will be used ( 1% of distance from P1 to P2. ) 

 

The value of d is a clamped real number. 

 

If q is omitted,  the fill angle already specified will be used. 

 

The value of q is a clamped real number. 

 

LT - Line type selection 

LT [, n [, p ]] [;] 

n ; Line pattern number 
p ; Line pattern length (percentage or millimeters of distance between P1 and P2) 

 

 

Specifies the line type and pattern length. 

 

When the n parameter field is omitted a solid line is selected. 

 

When the p parameter field is omitted the pattern length is 4% of the distance between P1 and P2 (default 
value ). 

 

The value of 

n

 is a clamped integer number. 

 

The value of 

p

 is a clamped real number from 0.0000 to 127.9999. 

 

When 

p

 is omitted the previously set line pattern length is used. 

 Default
