PSET

The PSET grahics SCREEN statement sets a pixel to a coordinate with a default or designated color attribute.

Syntax

PSET [STEP](column%, row%)[, colorAttribute]

Parameters:

• Can use STEP relative graphics coordinates from a previous graphic object.
• Column and row can be literal or variable INTEGER coordinates values which can be offscreen.
• If the colorAttribute is omitted, PSET will use the current destination page's _DEFAULTCOLOR.

Usage:

• Color attributes are limited to the SCREEN mode used. Any color value other than 0 will be white in SCREENs 2 or 11.
• PSET can locate other graphics objects and color DRAW statements.
• The PSET action can be used in a graphics PUT to produce an identical image on any background.
• The graphic cursor is set to the center of the program window on program start for STEP relative coordinates.
• PSET can be used in any graphic screen mode, but cannot be used in the default screen mode 0 as it is text only! (Or in any _NEWIMAGE(x, y, 0) screens which are text only as well.)

Example: Using PSET to locate and color a DRAW statement.

SCREEN 12 PSET(100, 100), 12 DRAW "U20 R20 D20 L20"

Screen results: A drawn box that is bright red.

Example 2: Magnifying a box portion of a Mandelbrot image with PSET
