 How to Create a Line
• Define the begin point (1) and
the end point(2)
• Begin Point: x1, y1
• End Point: x2, y2
• The Command to Draw the Line :
– Line x1, y1, x2, y2
– Example: Line 40, 50, 100, 200



 How to Create Shapes:
• A Rectangle: define the point in the
upper-left corner(1) and the point
in the lower-right corner(2).
– Rectangle x1, y1, x2, y2
– Example: Rectangle 40, 50, 100, 200
• A Circle: define it like a rectangle.
The circle is drawn inside that
rectangle.
– Circle x1, y1, x2, y2
– Example: Circle 40, 50, 100, 200
// To draw a line , define the begin point and end point .
// Line x - coordinate of begin point , y - coordinate of begin
point ,
// x - coordinate of end point , y - coordinate of end point

Line 0 , 400 , 800 , 400

// Rectangle , x - coordinate of upper - left corner , y - coordinate

of upper - left corner ,
// x - coordinate of lower - right corner , y -
coordinate of lower - right corner

Rectangle 100 , 100 , 200 , 300

// Circle is created the same way as a rectangle with

coordinates for a rectangle ,
// BUT drawn INSIDE the rectangle .

Circle 300 , 100 , 500 , 300
