Graphics

The BASIC
graphics
window
is a view
into
the
graphics
buffer. The graphics
buffer
is a 512 by 255 array
of
bits
in
memory.
When
plotted
on
the
display, this corresponds to
roughly 2.8 dots
per
millimeter
over
the
entire
18
by
9
cm
display. The size of
the
graphics
window
is initially 162
mm
by
67 mm. But like
other
windows, its size
can
be
changed
with
the
j§t~tl<;":;
(@)
function key
and
moved
with
the
;:::·;MQi~~.:
(CIT)}
function key (both
on
the
graphic
window's
system
menu). The size of
the
graphics buffer
and
the
initial
position
of
the
graphics
window
are illustrated below.
