Purpose Draw horizontal or vertical lines with length and width
Discussion Margins do not affect line drawing so you can draw lines to the physical
limits of the page. The DECVEC command sequence draws vectors
without changing the currently active position.
Use the Pn parameters to select the length, width, and direction of the line.
An incorrect Pn value cancels the entire sequence.
P1 Operation
Draw an x line; that is, horizontal with respect
to page orientation.
Draw a y line; that is, vertical with respect to
page orientation.

• P2 selects the x start position on the page in decipoints.
• P3 selects the y start position on the page in decipoints.
• P4 Selects the line length in the x direction for an x line.
For a y line, it specifies the y direction length.
0 value is equal to a line one decipoint in length.
• P5 Selects the line width in the y direction for a y line.
For an x line, it specifies the x direction width.
0 value is equal to a line one decipoint in length.
For an x line, Pn4 specifies the length in the x direction, and Pn5 specifies
the width in the y direction. For a y line, Pn4 specifies the length in the y
direction, and Pn5 specifies the width in the x direction.
