──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WINDOW defines the dimensions of the current graphics viewport window.
WINDOW [[SCREEN] (x1!,y1!)-(x2!,y2!)]
Usage Notes
■ The WINDOW statement allows the user to create a customized coordinate
system to draw lines, graphs, or objects without being constrained by
the graphics viewport physical coordinate values and orientation.
■ WINDOW defines a coordinate system that is mapped to the physical
coordinates of the viewport. All subsequent graphics statements use
the window coordinates and are displayed within the current
viewport. The viewport may be the entire screen or a clipping area
defined in physical coordinates by the VIEW statement.
■ A WINDOW statement with no arguments, or a RUN statement, disables
the window coordinate system.
