EN Raster Width Command 15-13
Raster Width Command
The Raster Width command specifies the width in pixels of the raster
area. Width is in the direction that the raster rows are laid down,
hence, width is subject to the current raster presentation mode and
print direction (see Figure 15-8).

* r # S
# =Width in pixels of the specified resolution
Default = depends on raster presentation mode -
when presentation mode is 0, width = width of logical
page - left graphics margin when presentation mode
is 3 then width = dimension of logical page along
paper length - left graphics margin
Range = 0 to (logical page width – left graphics margin)
*
*
Greater values default to the (logical page width – left graphics margin).
This command allows you to implicitly tell the printer to pad raster
rows that are not specified for the full raster width with zeros.
Unspecified data maps to either white or transparent depending
on the source transparency mode.
When a Transfer Raster Data command is received that specifies a
row of data that is longer than the raster width, the data that extends
past the raster width is clipped.
This command is ignored after the Start Raster Graphics or Transfer
Raster Data commands, until the next End Raster Graphics
command.
Note Only raster data appearing within the intersection of the logical page,
the printable area, and if set, the raster width and height is printed.
Data outside the intersection is clipped.
