Description
- In a graphics window or graphic-box, NORTH sets the pen position to straight up, which is normally North on a map. But, NORTH is not 0 degrees; it is 270 degrees with this command. Pointing right, or east, is 0 degrees. Pointing down, south, is 90 degrees. Pointing left, or west, is 180 degrees. The pen points North by default. See example.
- To change the pen direction, use the "turn A" command.
