IDK, sorry I tried several methods too but couldn't get it. Why do you need to do that in an Axe program?

Oh, no, on axe you have coordinates from 0-95 in x and 0-63 in y direction, so you can draw all that stuff without having to change xmin etc

Sorunome's right, you don't need to change xmin in Axe. instead of a 10 by 10 grid, the screen is set up (like the basic text command) so that you program what pixel to draw the line on not what coordinate.

Also, as a note, this is how the coordinate system works at the hardware and assembly level. TI-BASIC converts coordinates for all of its drawing commands to pixel coordinates which takes up a lot of time. This is nice for math purposes, but inefficient for graphics.

To give you an idea, you could probably draw a line in Axe a few dozen times in the time TI-BASIC can draw a single Pt-On( command since it has to convert the inputs, then transform the inputs into pixel coordinates, then it converts those float values to integers that can actually be used directly, then it uses those coordinates to a pixel location and plots it. Axe only needs to do the last step (which is the fastest one).

Also, in BASIC the LCD is updated on every line/pixel command, while in Axe you choose if you want the LCD updated or not during drawing. Updating everytime causes flicker in some cases and it's much slower.

Back when I did BASIC I hated that so much...

That is what i found so awesome when i found xLib, the whole update LCD stuff
