                            The Graphics Library


The Graphics Library contain many functions which can be used to provide
visual clues to the user. This library also contains functions to inquire
and set information about the mouse pointer.

graf_movebox(), graf_shrinkbox(), and graf_growbox() display animations
that can be used to indicate an impending change in the screen display.
graf_dragbox(), graf_rubberbox(), and graf_slidebox() display visual
effects that are interactively changed by the mouse position.

graf_mkstate() is used to inquire the current state of the mouse buttons
and mouse position. graf_mouse() can be used to change the shape of the
system mouse. graf_handle() is used to return the physical handle of the
screen (needed to open a VDI workstation) and the metrics of the system
default text font.
