Graphics
Graphics is the data type used to present line art picture drawings in a graphics block area on a page.
The information to be presented is represented by a sequence of primitive drawing orders that are used
by the device to construct arcs, lines, fillets, character strings, markers and other elements that define the
drawing. These primitive orders, in turn, are grouped into one or more drawing segments that are
executed to present the picture.
The Write Graphics Control command (See "Graphics Command Set", IPDS Technical Reference 2) is
sent to the printer to establish the clipping window control parameters and initial drawing conditions to
be used in presenting the picture data. The picture segments are sent to the printer as data in zero or
more Write Graphics commands of the architecture.
The graphics drawing orders are summarized in "Drawing Orders", IPDS Technical Reference 2. The
source architecture document for graphics data is the Graphics Object Content Architecture Reference.
Bar Code
Bar Code is the data type used to present machine-scannable bar code symbols in a bar code block
area on a page.
The Write Bar Code Control command (See "Bar Code Command Set", IPDS Technical Reference 2) is
sent to the printer to establish the bar code pattern parameters to be used in presentation. Data for the
bar code symbols is sent to the printer in zero or more Write Bar Code commands.
