User`s manual
The following values can be used for n4:
0: Circle prints in black (default).
1: Circle does not print (useful only if circle is painted; then the
border will not
show
as a solid black line).
The value of n5 and n6 specifies the starting and ending angle, if you
are printing only an arc instead of a complete circle. Angles are
specified in degrees. If n5 and n6 are negative then pie-shaped wedges
are drawn, with lines connecting the center of the circle to the ends of
the arc.
The value of n7 determines the ratio of the horizontal axis to the
vertical axis, creating an ellipse. The value of n7 can range from 4 to 4.
Values from -1 to 1 create a true circle.
The value of n8 determines the line style. The value of n8 is
interpreted as a 64-bit binary number where each bit represents one dot
on the line. Bits set to 1 print, and bits set to 0 don’t.
The following values can be used for n9, which determines the line
thickness:
0: Thin line
1: Medium line (default)
2: Thick line
Any of the optional parameters can be left out, but if you are specifying
other parameters after the missing
ones,
you must include commas to
hold
the
place.
All measurements are made in units of the minimum
increment, and all parameters are entered as ASCII text strings.

Paint Area
Comments:
Fills a closed area containing a specified location with a specified
background pattern. The values of nl and n2 (which use
the
increment
specified by ESC q) specify the X- and Y-coordinates, respectively, of
some
point within the closed area. The values for n3 are one less than
those
used with ESC e. The values nl and n2 must be within the area
reserved by the ALLOCATE command.
