Programming question....

    Hey,

I have written a nice program that allows the user to plot into the screen and when I click on D for done it suppose to store the design in a file as combination of plot x,y and color=<number>. But I do not want to do it this way as it could end up been thousands and thousands of lines as I am plotting complex graphics. How do I convert the plotted image in the screen as either binary picture (stored in hard drive) or as combination of read and data instead to be plotted as sprite in the screen in BASIC? Is there a book or something I can read that helps me to do this as I want to modify my program to store the image more efficiently.

Thanks in advance.
