DRAW_CIRCLE
Function
Draws a circle located by the upper left corner of a
square enclosing the circle.
Explicit Form
DRAW_CIRCLE x y d t c
Parameters
x
X coordinate of upper left corner of
enclosing square
y
Y coordinate of upper left corner of
enclosing square
d
Circle diameter. Must be greater
than zero.
t
Optional; specifies line thickness in
dots. The default is 1. If t is greater
than 1, the x and y parameters refer
to the box outside dimensions.
c
Optional; specifies plotting modes.
B=plot black, W=plot white.
Comments
DRAW_CIRCLE
can draw a circle enclosed by a
square on labels if you set t and d equal to 1, but
the lines are two dots wide. Figures drawn with this
command may not print well at 200 DPI or higher
resolution unless the t parameter is 2 or more.
Some early printers do not support the t parameter,
in which case we suggest using multiple
FILL_CIRCLE
commands to create figures with
thicker lines.
Example
DRAW_CIRCLE 25 35 150 75
