Plotter Character Sets
The plotter has the capability of lettering with any of five internal
character sets. Each of the character sets has identical upper—and
lowercase alphabetic characters and identical numerals. The symbols
and punctuation marks vary from set to set, making annotation in
several languages possible. The plotter, when initialized, automatically
sets both the standard and alternate sets to ASCII character set 0
which follows:
CHARACTER SET 0
!”#$Z&’()*+.-./0123458789:: =>?@
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNUPQRSTUVWXYZE\]"_f
cbcdeFghiJklmnopqrstuvwxyz{l}"F
Some examples of annotation in foreign languages are found below.
Notice that the label string in the HP-GL label command shows the
character in the character set of the keyboard on which the command
is entered or uses the CHR$ function if that ASCII character code is
not available on the computer’s keyboard.

Shown next are the symbols which vary from set to set. The plotter will
perform an automatic backspace before drawing any of the Shaded
symbols. Therefore, when an accented letter is required, the letter
should be entered first, followedby the accent.
