 Graphics Command Summary
 
 ■ Graphics functionality other than the printing of ASCII characters is not
   available when forms are showing. All forms must be hidden (using the HIDE
   method), invisible (Visible = 0), or unloaded (using the UNLOAD statement)
   before you can perform any graphics-related tasks.
