The '''PRESET''' graphic [[SCREEN]] statement turns a pixel at a coordinate to the background color or a designated color attribute.


{{PageSyntax}}
:: '''PRESET''' [STEP]'''('''''column%'', ''row%''''')'''[, colorAttribute]


''[[Parameters]]:''
* Can use [[STEP]] when relative graphics coordinates are required.
* ''column'' and ''row'' coordinates can be literal ot variable [[INTEGER]] values which can be offscreen. 
* If the ''colorAttribute'' is omitted, PRESET will use the current [[_DEST|destination]] page's [[_BACKGROUNDCOLOR]].


''Usage:''
* Color attributes are limited to those available in the [[SCREEN]] mode used. [[PSET]] can be used to adopt previously used colors.
* Any color value other than 0 will be white in monochrome [[SCREEN]] modes 2 and 11 where the [[COLOR]] statement cannot be used.
* PRESET can invisibly locate other graphics objects like [[CIRCLE]]s and add color to subsequent graphic objects and [[DRAW]] when used.
* The PRESET action can be used in a graphics [[PUT (graphics statement)|PUT]] to produce a color inverted image on any background. See Example 2.
* The graphic cursor is set to the center of the program window on program start for [[STEP]] relative coordinates.
* '''PRESET can be used in any graphic screen mode, but cannot be used in the default screen mode 0 as it is text only!''' 


''Example 1:'' Using PRESET to locate a [[DRAW]] statement that draws a box that is bright red.

{{CodeEnd}}
:''Explanation:'' The [[DRAW]] string required a color designation as PRESET defaulted to the black background color. 



''Example 2:'' Displays the flags of countries that use simple horizontal or vertical color blocks with a highlighted arrow key menu.
