Basic Drawing Functions - Rectangles, Ellipses, Line Styles
Ex.1 Draw some boxes while changing colors
Sub ColorBox()
Dim c, myBoxSize, myInterval
Dim x1, y1, x2, y2
InitializeGraphics ' Declaration of using graphics library
myBoxSize = 22
myInterval = myBoxSize + 5
x1 = 0
y1 = 10
For c = 0 To 14
DrawRectangle x1, y1, x1 + myBoxSize, y1 + myBoxSize, QBColor(c) ' Draw a box
x1 = x1 + myInterval
Next c
x1 = 0
y1 = y1 + myInterval
For c = 0 To 14
DrawRectangleFill x1, y1, x1 + myBoxSize, y1 + myBoxSize, QBColor(c) ' Draw a filled box
x1 = x1 + myInterval
Next c
x1 = 0
y1 = y1 + myInterval
For c = 0 To 14
' Draw a box with different fill color and line color
DrawRectangleFill x1, y1, x1 + myBoxSize, y1 + myBoxSize, QBColor(c), QBColor(c + 1)
x1 = x1 + myInterval
Next c
End Sub
Ex.2 Draw some circles while changing colors

For i = 1 To 2
For j = 1 To 8
DrawOval x, y, r, r, QBColor(c) ' Draw a circle
c = c + 1
x = x + d
Next j
y = y + d
x = 10
Next i
c = 0
For i = 1 To 2
