20 SCALE 1,1000,5000 on to size (1000,5000) and draw a
30 CIRCLE 1,180,100,100,100 circle.
SSHAPE
Save shapes to string variables.
EXAMPLES:
SSHAPE A$,10,10 Saves a rectangular area from the coordinate 10,10
to the location of the pixel cursor, into string vari-
able A$.
SSHAPE B$, 20,30,47,51 Saves a rectangular area from top left coordinate
(20,30) through bottom right coordinate (47,51) into
string variable B$.
SSHAPE D$, 4-10, + 10 Saves a rectangular area 10 pixels to the right and 10
pixels down from the current position of the pixel
cursor.
WIDTH 1 Set Single width for graphic commands
WIDTH 2 Set double width for drawn lines

SSHAPE and GSHAPE are used to save and load rectangular areas of multi-color or bit lj
mapped screens to/from BASIC string variables. The command to save an area of the
screen into a string variable is: ^ /
SSHAPE string variable, XI, Yl [,X2,Y2] ^
where: . ,
string variable String name to save data in Lj
X1,Y1 Corner coordinate (0,0 through 319,199) (scaled)
X2,Y2 Corner coordinate opposite (XI,Yl) (default is the PC) \ i

WIDTH °
Set the width of drawn lines. ^ ,
WIDTH n U
This command sets the width of lines drawn using BASIC'S graphic commands to either
single or double width. Giving n a value of 1 defines a single width line; a value of 2 1
defines a double width line. Lj
