Draw is a Red dialect created to make it easy to draw two-dimensional geometrical shapes such as circles, rectangles, and animations. It makes use of VID, so the needs 'view has to appear in the header. To start with a simple example, here is how to draw a circle:
;-- see Chapter09/first-draw-example.red:
view [
base 100x100 cyan draw [
line 20x0 75x50
pen red
circle 35x50 20
]
]
We draw on a base face and start a draw block. In it, we draw a line from a starting point at 20 x 0 to an end point at 75 x 50. Then, we define a pen with the color red and use it to draw a circle with a radius of 20 and center at 35 x 50:

Instead of a base, you can also add drawings on an existing image.
The draw dialect is very elaborate, here are some of the things you can try...
