3 Line colour

A number of colours at the lower end of the colour index range are reserved for line plotting, depending on the total number of colours available. The remainder are made available for pixel plotting. The command DSHOW will show the ranges for both which are available on the current device. The maximum range reserved for line plotting is as follows:

      0 black (background)     1 white
      2 red                    3 green
      4 blue                   5 cyan
      6 magenta                7 yellow
