Good evening friends,
well to start a new legislation I can print oval shaped delivery notes for feeding.

I was doing google and found how to make rectangles, lines, circles, ..... but can not find how to do graphic OVAL.
The software only allows using ESC codes, PCL5-6, GL / 2, PJL, but no matter graphics bmp, jpg, tiff .....

Thank's

That is actually fairly easy in HP-GL/2.

All yo do is draw a circle, but have the unit of measure with
different values for the x and y axes. In this case you would want
the y uom to be higher than the x uom.

Thanks jlasman for your input,
I use to draw rectangles:

CODE -->

Ec%0B
IN;
SP1;
PA100,1250;
EA3800,2000;
PA4000,1250;
EA7700,2000;
Ec%0A

for circles:

CODE

Ec%0B
IN;
SP1;
PA3000,8500;
CI600;
Ec%0A

What would be the code to define the X and Y axes ???

Thank you !!

You need to look up the scale command 'SC'.

Thanks for tracks "jlasman" ,
I got a good documentation in HPFORUM
http://www.hp.com/ctg/Manual/bpl13211.pdf (page,87)

and perform code

CODE -->

Ec%0B
IN;
IP0,0,2000,2000;
SC0,10,0,15,0;
PA15,15;
CI10;
Ec%0A

that seems to solve the problem.

Thank you !!!
