Sample program:

     program demo_clear
     use M_draw, only  : prefsize, vinit, ortho2, clear, getkey
     use M_draw, only  : vexit, color, circle, polyfill
     use M_draw, only  : D_BLACK,   D_WHITE
     use M_draw, only  : D_RED,     D_GREEN,    D_BLUE
     use M_draw, only  : D_YELLOW,  D_MAGENTA,  D_CYAN
     implicit none
     integer :: ipaws

     call prefsize(300,300)
     call vinit(’ ’) ! start graphics using device $M_DRAW_DEVICE
     ipaws=getkey()
     call ortho2(-100.0,100.0,-100.0,100.0)

     call color(D_BLACK)               ! set current  color
     call clear()                ! clear background to current color
     call color(D_RED)               ! set color to draw with
     call circle(0.0,0.0,50.0)
     ipaws=getkey()              ! pause for a keypress on interactive devices

     call color(D_GREEN)               ! make a second page
     call clear()
     call polyfill(.true.)
     call color(D_YELLOW)
     call circle(0.0,0.0,50.0)
