Try this:
create a pixmap using the create() function
load the bitmap file into it using setPixmap()
display the image using copyBlt()

Make sure you are showing the correct window i.e: "SimpleWin"
Make sure the drawLine statement is being executed:
  Put it in a routine called DrawTheLine() and then after the
  end procedure put this line:
  onClick[SimpleWin] = routine_id( "DrawTheLine" )
  Now when you click on the window the line should be drawn
another thing to try: setPenColor() to make your line colored.


hope this helps,
