how do i use petscii to draw lines and circles, etc on the fly?

[xxx]

like on the nes where it uses tile to draw the lines and circles, etc for elite. had a look on google but nothing. i need a program that allows me to store the numbers as data statements, etc and it just does it.

I'm not sure a such program exists. There are some converters that try to represent a bitmapped image using the built-in font but that is not what you are asking for.

 

There were some extensions that use semigraphics, the quarter squares to draw graphics like what you want. At least I have something for the C64 which could be adapted to PET. On a 40 column model it gives you a resolution of 80x50 "pixels".
