Use GpiLine.  I don't know how optimized it is, but it's the only way
I know of.  (You really don't want to plot pixels or draw degenerate
polygons!)  I believe the functions are optimized, however, so there
shouldn't be a problem.

Also, by using the standard API calls, your program will improve as
the system DLLs are upgraded in the future.

Finally, the graphics work is a cooperative effort between the display
driver and the PM*.DLL files.  The display.dll handles the device-
specific work, and the pm*.dll files handle the generic device-
independant work.
