- PENSORT
PENSORT=Y
- causes the plotter to draw all graphics
elements of one color at one time. For example, it draws all the red elements
in the output, then all the blue elements, and so forth. This specification
is compatible with previous releases. Use it for plotters with real pens.
- NOPENSORT
PENSORT=N
- causes the plotter to draw each element
as it is encountered, regardless of its color. For example, the plotter might
draw a red circle, then a blue line, and then a red line, and so forth. This
method is best for electrostatic printers implemented with Metagraphics drivers
of TYPE=PLOTTER. In addition, NOPENSORT enables you to specify non-standard
color names.
