1 PntON( PntON(x-coordinate, y-coordinate)

Draws a point at a given coordinate. It takes the X-Y coordinate as an argument.

This tool can either be accessed from the GRAPH window or other windows. Entering from the GRAPH window enables a graphic entry, while entering from other windows enables text-based entry.

2 PntOFF(

PntOFF(x-coordinate, y-coordinate)

 

Erases a pixel point. It

takes the X-Y coordinate as an

 

argument.

 

 

 

3 PntCHG(

PntCHG(x-coordinate, y-coordinate)

 

Changes the status (i.e., visible/invisible) of a pixel at a

 

given coordinate. Deletes the point when it is displayed

 

and draws the point when it is not displayed.

4 PxlON(

PxlON(column, row)

 

 

 

 

Draws a pixel point at a given screen location indicated

 

by column and row.

 

 

 

 

The column and row definitions are as follows:
