DRAW

This instruction draws a line on the screen, starting from the coordinates (x1, y1) to arrive at the coordinates (x2, y2), using the color c. The start or the final coordinates can be omitted: in this case, ugBASIC will draw, respectively, starting from the last drawn position and arriving at the last drawn position. If the color is omitted, the last color selected with the INK or PEN command will be used. Finally, the default line style is full but a 16 bit bitmask can be set with the SET LINE command.

On the other syntax, you can select the mode that can be PSET or PRESET. If PSET is used the line is drawn in the current foreground colour. If PRESET, the line is drawn in the background colour.

The last, if used, it is either B or BF. If B, a rectangle is drawn instead of a line, the upper corner of the rectangle will be x1, y1, and the lower right corner x2, y2. If BF is used, the rectangle is drawn and filled with the current foreground colour.
