HP-GL/2 Picture Frame
In addition to text and raster graphics, HP-GL/2 vector graphics
can be placed on the PCL logical page. HP-GL/2 vector graphics
are incorporated using the concept of the HP-GL/2 picture frame
(see Figure 2-3). Within this picture frame, HP-GL/2 uses its own
coordinate system and units of measure. The HP-GL/2 coordinate
system and units are described in detail in Chapter 17, An
Introduction to HP-GL/2 Vector Graphics, and Chapter 18, The
Picture Frame.
Note If no HP-GL/2 picture frame size is specified (using the commands
described in Chapter 18), then the default HP-GL/2 picture frame is
used. The default HP-GL/2 picture frame is the current top and
bottom margins and the left and right edges of the logical page. The
HP-GL/2 picture frame rotates with the PCL page orientation, but is
not affected by the PCL print direction.
