BLOAD Statement Programming Example
 
This example uses BLOAD to retrieve and display a drawing of a magenta cube
inside a box. The BSAVE statement programming example shows how the drawing
was created and saved on disk in a file named MAGCUBE.GRH.
 
'*** Programming example using BLOAD ***
' You must create the file MAGCUBE.GRH using the BSAVE statement
' programming example before you can run this program. This program
' uses MAGCUBE.GRH.
'
DIM Cube(1 TO 675)
' Set the screen mode. The mode should be the same as the
' mode used to create the original drawing.
SCREEN 1
' Set segment to the array Cube's segment and load
' the graphic file into Cube.
DEF SEG = VARSEG(Cube(1))
BLOAD "MAGCUBE.GRH", VARPTR(Cube(1))
DEF SEG               ' Restore default BASIC segment.
' Put the drawing on the screen.
PUT (80, 10), Cube
