Editing Applesoft BASIC (section)

===Sound and graphics===
The only sound support is the option to <code>PRINT</code> an ASCII [[bell character]] to sound the system alert [[beep (sound)|beep]], and a <code>[[PEEK and POKE|PEEK]]</code> command to click the speaker. The language is not fast enough to produce more than a baritone buzz from repeated clicks. Programs can, however, store a machine-language routine to be called to generate electronic musical tones spanning several octaves.

Applesoft supports drawing in the Apple II's low resolution and high resolution modes. There are commands to plot pixels and draw horizontal and vertical lines in low resolution. High resolution allows arbitrary lines and vector-based [[shape table]]s for drawing scaled and rotated objects. The only provision for mixing text and graphics is the four lines of text at the bottom of a graphic display.

Beginning with the [[Apple IIe]], a "double-high resolution" mode became available on machines with 128k of memory. This mode essentially duplicates the resolution of the original high resolution mode, but including all 16 colors of the low resolution palette. Applesoft does not provide direct support for this mode. [[Apple IIGS]]-specific modes are likewise not supported.
