A display screen must be erased before an image is generated and between images(frames) in an animation sequence. A screen may be erased to its natural "off" color(typically black or green), or it may be filled to a solid color such as white if elements of a different color will be generated. Lines and characters are often drawn in black on a white background to give the effect of pen on paper. This is achieved through the white erase, or "fill". 2, record 2, English, - fill
