p#

select pen

SYNOPSIS

p#

DESCRIPTION

Use this command to select other than the default pen on pen plotters that have more than one pen.

For the # sign, enter an integer greater than or equal to zero and less than 1,000. Refer to your pen-plotter manual to see how many pens are available. (Higher pen numbers are ignored by the p# command, although they are used with the z# command to control features such as line widths on graphics filters.)

When selecting one or more pens as part of a string of plotting commands, insert the pen numbers in the string rather than including them as arguments. For instance, p2alt1p uses pen 2 to draw the axes, labels and title and pen 1 to draw the points.
