The PRESET graphic SCREEN statement turns a pixel at a coordinate to the background color or a designated color attribute.

Syntax

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

Parameters:

Can use STEP when relative graphics coordinates are required.
column and row coordinates can be literal ot variable INTEGER values which can be offscreen.
If the colorAttribute is omitted, PRESET will use the current destination page's _BACKGROUNDCOLOR.

Usage:

Color attributes are limited to those available in the SCREEN mode used. PSET can be used to adopt previously used colors.
Any color value other than 0 will be white in monochrome SCREEN modes 2 and 11 where the COLOR statement cannot be used.
PRESET can invisibly locate other graphics objects like CIRCLEs and add color to subsequent graphic objects and DRAW when used.
The PRESET action can be used in a graphics PUT to produce a color inverted image on any background. See Example 2.
The graphic cursor is set to the center of the program window on program start for STEP relative coordinates.
PRESET can be used in any graphic screen mode, but cannot be used in the default screen mode 0 as it is text only!

Example 1: Using PRESET to locate a DRAW statement that draws a box that is bright red.

SCREEN 12
PRESET(100, 100)
DRAW "C12 U20 R20 D20 L20"

Explanation: The DRAW string required a color designation as PRESET defaulted to the black background color.

Example 2: Displays the flags of countries that use simple horizontal or vertical color blocks with a highlighted arrow key menu.
