Line specifies single-density graphics mode and also reserves
columns for graphics. Line 30 begins a loop to supply
data. Line 40 contains the number 170, which produces the first pin

loop.

BASIC) automatically insert carriage return and line feed codes
after every 80 or 130 characters. This is usually no problem with
text, but it can spoil your graphics. Two extra-cohnnns of
graphics are printed in the middle of the ones you send, and two
data numbers are left over and printed as text.
In some versions of BASIC, you can prevent unwanted ,co$rol
codes in graphics by putting a WIDTH statement 'at thebeginning
of all graphics programs. The format in many BASK versions is
