A previous reply gave that approach. I did not know about API calls in Euphoria.
It is exposed with x in front of the name. But even with these API calls,
Euphoria is still 60% slower. My original post was because I was using Win32Lib's
drawLine, and it was 2000% slower.

Note that for most applications this is not an issue. But my application needs
to write thousands of tiny little lines to make curved shapes.
