Dear Jamie:

Good question. I've been working on it, but don't know the

best answer yet. You might take a look at the True BASIC webpage

(there are some links in the class webpage to the latest graphics

technical notes) to get some hints. You can use the mouse to fill

up an array with points that comprise the figure, and then use

matrix plot to display the figure, for example. Or you can explore

the world of "graphical objects" mentioned in the True BASIC

technical notes. I've been trying to get a copy of the manual for

the program (would you believe it!) which I suspect has lots of

information you could use. Anything is possible, and I'm sure has

been done by someone.

Cheers,

CHG
