Shape Table
BASIC has five commands that allow the manipulation of shapes.
These commands are:
SCALE
ROT
DRAW
XDRAW
SH LOAD.
Before these commands may be used, a shape table must be
defined. The first step in the definition of the table is to draw the
shape on paper. Graph paper works best.

Suppose a square is to be defined. Draw the square on graph
paper. Now, starting at the center of the figure , connect all
points in the shape with a continuous line. Use only 90° angles
on the turns. Next, add arrows on the lines to indicate the
direction that was used to connect the points. Numbering is a
good practice here.
