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
