rc:

Thanks for the lead -- however, the drawings I am producing are huge. 
The largest has been 21,720 by 6,204 pixels and takes 3305 ticks 
(about 55 seconds) to draw. It would be nice to see it speed up a bit.

I'm reviewing your RC's PLOTLINE version that use's RP's 
CUSTOMSETPIXEL FN, but it's over my head -- it will take a while for 
me to distill it down to a simple lineto-like function.
