Default
The system defaults for direction and type of line are horizontal
and solid. The default option of REPEAT is used to repeat a
horizontal line vertically and a vertical line horizontally to produce
parallel lines. The default number of lines to be drawn is 1.

BOX
Describes the size and shape of a square or rectangular box. The
BOX command is similar to the LINE command. Like lines, boxes
may be repeated either at fixed intervals or at specified locations.
The origin of a box is its upper left corner at the midpoint of the
outline thickness. The BOX command provides an option that
allows you to draw the outline of a box (frame) and to fill in a
box with shading.
