# TS2068 Programming: User Defined Graphics

Explains how to use the 21 User Definable Graphic characters (codes 144-164) on the TS2068 with the CHR$ function to keep program listings readable. Includes a subroutine to load UDG data from DATA statements, and a technique for creating centered program titles with GOSUB without line numbers.
