Intrinsic-42 Line |

42: Line(X, Y, color);
This intrinsic draws a straight line from the last point plotted (or moved to with the Move intrinsic) to the specified X and Y coordinates. "Color" is the same as for Point (41), but bits 8 through 15 are used to specify various patterns of dotted and dashed lines. Pixels are not drawn at locations corresponding to set bits. For example, to draw a line with widely space dots, "color" could be $7F01.
Note: the Line intrinsic is Last Point Inclusive. This means that a program draws every point between the starting and ending positions including the last pixel. This is different than the LineTo intrinsic that draws every pixel except the last pixel
