Note

  1. The command PenDown PenUp doesn't draw a dot. A mechanical turtle would do so but in Logo programs this would create many unwanted dots. To create a dot (in the pen shape and width), use PenDown Forward 0 PenUp. Or Dot Position for a single pixel 'dot'.
  2. Be careful using the ClearScreen command in programs. It clears the screen and pen colors to the users personal preferences. This may make your program work differently on another machine. Best to use SetSC and SetPC instead.
