Description:
The putscreen-command is the counterpart of the getscreen$-function. putscreen requires a string as returned by the getscreen-function. Such a string contains a rectangular detail from the terminal; the putscreen-function puts such a region back into the terminal-window.
Note, that clear screen must have been called before.
Example:
clear screen
for a=1 to 200
print color("red") "Hallo!"
print color("blue") "Welt!"
next a
r$=getscreen$(0,0,20,20)
for x=0 to 60
putscreen r$,x,0
sleep 0.1
next x
Explanation:
This example prints the string "Hallo!Welt!" all over the screen and then moves a rectangle from one side to the other.
Start this program in a terminal.
