GR LOCATE

The GR LOCATE allows you to position the graphics cursor in a specific position on the screen, thus preparing the ground for subsequent drawing operations, such as printing text, drawing lines or shapes.

Before drawing lines, rectangles, or other shapes, you must position the graphics cursor at the starting point of the shape. By combining GR LOCATE with other graphics commands, you can create animations by moving objects around the screen.

Obviously, the coordinate system and screen size depend on the graphics mode selected with the BITMAP ENABLE or SCREEN commands. The ugBASIC offers other graphics functions, such as PLOT for drawing points, LINE for drawing lines, and many more.
