FILLING WEDGES AND CIRCLES

    
     The wedge commands, Edge Wedge (EW) and Fill Wedge
     (WG), use your current pen location as the center point
     of the wedge. You then specify the radius, the start
     angle, and the sweep angle to complete the wedge. The
     angles are measured counterclockwise, with zero at the
     3 o-clock position.  For more information see the PCL 5
     Printer Language Technical Reference Manual.
     
     Syntax for the Edge Wedge command is: EW[radius],[start
     angle],[sweep angle];

     IN;                           Initializes Hp-GL/2 mode.
     
     SP1;                          Selects pen number 1,
                                   (black). Even though
                                   there is no physical pen,
                                   the SP command must be
                                   used to enable printing.
     
     PA1400,2500;                  Selects absolute plotting
                                   mode and moves the pen to
                                   (1400,2500).
     
     WG600,150,120;                Fills a wedge with radius
                                   600 plotter units (plu),
                                   start angle 150 degrees,
                                   and sweep angle 120
                                   degrees. Since no fill
                                   type was specified, the
                                   wedge is black (solid
                                   black is the default fill
                                   type).

                                   (2300,2500). Selects the
                                   fill type to be number 3
                                   (hatching-parallel
                                   lines), with 75 plu
                                   between hatching lines,
                                   and hatching lines tilted
                                   at 45 degree angles.
     
     WG600,90,180;                 Fills a wedge with the
                                   current fill type, using
                                   a radius 600 plu, a start
                                   angle 90 degrees, and a

                                   center and radius as the
                                   previous wedge, but
                                   starts this wedge at 270
                                   degrees with a sweep of
                                   60 degrees.

                                   between lines and the
                                   lines tilted at 45
                                   degrees. Fills a wedge
                                   using the same center and
                                   radius as the previous
                                   two wedges, but starts
                                   this wedge at 330 degrees
                                   with a sweep of 120
                                   degrees.

                                   hatching), and specifies
                                   a start angle 0 degrees
                                   with a 360 degree sweep.
