Example 2: BASIC Graphics
In this example, we use the DRAW statement in IBM BASIC to
create a pattern on the screen and then pri nt it out. Other statements
you can use include CIRCLE and LINE; see your IBM BASIC manual
for details of how these statements work.
Keep in mind that a screen dump will print out everything that ap
pears on the screen including menus, prompts, error messages, etc.,
which you may not want printed. Our sample program shows some
ways to suppress unwanted parts of the display.
If you just tried Example 1, enter "N" when the program asks
"Another Chart? (Y or N)," then type NEW; this returns you to
BASIC.
Enter the following program:
5 KEY OFF
10 SCREEN 1
15 CLS
20 DRAW"EMO,OR320D200L320U200"
30 DRAW"BM50,50R220D100L220U100"
40 DRAW"BM75,75R170D50L 170U50"
50 DRAW"BMO,OF400"
60 DRAW"BM320,OG400"
70 DRAW"BM160,OD200"
80 DRAW"BMO.100R320"
1 000 GOTO 1000
