' This example uses the LINE statement to display a series of screens with
' different line graphics.
 
' Note: To run this example, your screen must be 320 pixels wide by 200
' pixels high and must support CGA screen mode.
 
' To try this example:
' 1. Choose New Project from the File menu
' 2. Copy the example code below to the code window
' 3. Press F5 to run the example
