BBC BASIC PLOT Command Parameters Data Sheet
The PLOT command is used to draw lines and shapes on the screen. The eight base commands (0-7) are used to vary the effect in the later commands. When plotting triangles and rectangles, the PLOT command is used for defining the last point only -- use the MOVE command to set the other points. For an example of using PLOT commands see my procedures PROCcircle and PROCrectangle.
ABSOLUTE means the graphics cursor is moved to point x,y.
RELATIVE means the graphics cursor is moved from the previous position to this position plus x,y. For example, if the previous point was 20,30 and you PLOT 2,10,10 the graphics cursor is moved to point 30,40.
