Other characteristics
With the Graphic Window command, you determine:
•
Whether or not the window will be magnified to appear
larger on the printed output than its actual size; and, if so, by
how much. You can select magnification for a window when
you want a graphic to cover a larger area on the page but do
not want to use the memory required for a large window.
Magnifying a window, however, reduces its resolution.

•
The location and size of the window, given in two pairs of x-
and y-coordinates, as shown in figure 2-19. The first
coordinates, X
and y-coordinates, as shown in figure 2-19. The first
coordinates, X
and Y, set the location of the window’s origin
on the page. The second coordinates, S
x
and S
y
, set the size
of the window. The unit of measure is the pixel.
Scan direction for raster graphics
The x-axis and y-axis of a graphic window are not related to
those of the physical page. The scan direction for a graphic
window always runs along its x-axis (from X
those of the physical page. The scan direction for a graphic
window always runs along its x-axis (from X
to S
x
). Raster data fills
the window in this direction. This differs from the scan direction
of the page, which runs along the page’s y-axis. Figures 2-19 and
2-20 show how the scan direction of the page differs from that
of the graphic window.

In a job using raster data, the Graphic Window command is
followed immediately by the sixel encoded bitmap, which is sent
to the printer from the host.

When defining a window for raster graphics, ensure that the
number of pixels you enter for its size along the x-axis is a
multiple of eight. You do not need to made a similar calculation
for the window’s y-direction; the printer does this automatically.
