# Disk #8: Low Resolution Graphics



The LoRes collection contains macros and subroutines for creating and displaying low resolution graphics on the Apple II. This includes macros to:

- plot low resolution pixels
- set the working low resolution page and the viewing low resolution page
- set the low resolution mode: full screen or mixed
- plot horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines
- plot a low resolution circle
- get a low resolution pixel's color value
- print a low resolution character to the screen
