===== GR LOCATE ✓ =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     GR LOCATE [x], [y]

==== PURPOSE ====


The ''GR LOCATE'' allows you to position the graphics cursor in a specific position on the screen, 
thus preparing the ground for subsequent drawing operations, such as printing text, drawing lines 
or shapes.

Before drawing lines, rectangles, or other shapes, you must position the graphics cursor at the
starting point of the shape. By combining ''GR LOCATE'' with other graphics commands, you can 
create animations by moving objects around the screen.

Obviously, the coordinate system and screen size depend on the graphics mode selected with the
''BITMAP ENABLE'' or ''SCREEN'' commands. The ugBASIC offers other graphics functions, such as 
''PLOT'' for drawing points, ''LINE'' for drawing lines, and many more.



==== EXAMPLE ====
    GR LOCATE 100,10
