Setting the Origin
The origin is the point (expressed as X and Y coordinates) from which all
plotting operations begin. The GGT default origin is 0,0. The Origin function
lets you temporarily change the origin point to any position within the plotting
area.
The origin value set from the Offline menu is temporary. The next time you
initialize the plotter, the origin is reset to the default value.
To permanently change the origin, use Param Entry menu commands (see
Changing Parameters, page 4-12).
