PENCIL
[GREG1\]PENCIL [N|*] [/COLOUR C] [/DASHED D] [/WEIGHT W] [/DEFAULT]
PENCIL selects the current pen or changes the pen attributes.
Command argument:
- with a pen number, select this pen as the current one and optionally
changes its attributes if options are present.
- with a * wildcard, modify the named attributes of all pens without
changing the current pen number.
- without argument, only modify the current pen attributes.
Attributes are defined in terms of colour, dashed pattern and weight
(thickness). Up to 16 pens can be defined (0-15). Most plotting commands
use the current pen. The major exception is RGMAP (iso-contouring) which
uses the pen 0 (solid and foreground color by default) and 15 (dotted
and blue by default). Some commands also ignore the dashed patterns, in
particular all labels and the BOX command.
- The dashed pattern D must be in range 1 to 8, 1 means solid lines.
- The weight factor W must be a weight number or value. See subtopic
/WEIGHT for details.
- The colour index C is a color number or name. See subtopic /COLOUR
for details.
PENCIL N /DEFAULT reset default attributes of pen number N. PENCIL /DE-
FAULT reset default attributes for all Pens, as defined at program ini-
tialization.
