PXPL — PiXel PLacement
Format
PXPL mode;
Parameter
mode:
pixel placement mode
0 = Grid intersection
1 = Grid centered
Function
The PXPL command determines how pixels are rendered in images. It selects whether
pixels are centered at grid intersections or inside the boxes created by the grid. See the
figure below.
Assuming a rectangle extending from coordinate (1, 1) to coordinate (3, 4), a different
result is obtained depending on each pixel placement mode. Grid intersection is default
to HP PCL; and grid centered mode is used by Microsoft Windows.
This command is ignored when used with DAP, DRP, DRPA, DZP, BOX, BLK, CIR,
ARC, or PIE. This command has no effect for text or images.
The printing system is reset to grid intersection mode by the RES command.
