X1-Window lower left X coordinate Y1-Window lower left Y coordinate
X2-Window upper right X coordinate Y2-Window upper right Y coordinate
• This instruction sets the window inside which plotting can be performed.
• Graphic units are always used.
• Coordinate values for X1, Y1, X2 and Y2 are integer numbers from 0 to 32,767.
• The order of the pairs (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2) may be reversed with no change in the window created: "IW
X1, Y1, X2, Y2" is identical in effect to "IW X2, Y2, X1, Y1".
• Using this instruction without a parameter field releases any previous limitations on the plot area.
