This program and the several related demo programs are based on the generation and use of shape tables. The main program is entitled 'SHAPE.GENERATOR'
This program will generate and edit shape tables. The central plotting routine, in lines 1725-1855, was based on a program by Roy E. Myers.
As this program stores the sizes and start point with each shape, the format of the table is slightly different from normal, but will work fine with the DRAW and XDRAW commands.
However, to allow editing of existing tables, and to reduce memory used for the table, the program titled 'SG.CONVERTER' was developed for conversion between regular and 'SG' formats.
The other programs are examples of the use of the 'SG' program. Note that the shape tables generated by this program have an 'SG' file extension in their name.
Examples created using the 'SHAPE.GENERATOR' have been included in the 'DEMOS' directory.
'ASCII' is a table of the ASCII characters that will provide colour text on the Hi-Res screens. Each shape is designed to fit with any previous one, so that the co-ordinates are needed only for the start of a line.
'RUNNERS' is an animated example of the shapes.
'HCOLOR.12.DEMO' is just that, showing how to generate twelve colours under the HCOLOR command. An explanation is included at the end of the listing.
