The drawing interface provides a number of functions, methods, and protos that
allow you to create graphic objects in Newton applications. Objects can be shapes,
pictures, or rendered bitmaps. Additional functions and methods provide ways to
scale, transform, or rotate the images. All objects are drawn into views. See "View
Instantiation" (page 3-26) for complete details.
