 buffer [integer 0-7]: The slot number to create the new buffer in. If the slot is already occupied, the existing contents will be erased.

 ysize [integer 1-64]: The height of the new buffer in pixels.

+Command: drawline
+-----------------
+
+Draws a line on a buffer.
+
+Parameters:
+buffer [integer 0-7]: The buffer to draw the line on.
+x1 [integer 1-64]: The X position of the start of the line.
+x2 [integer 1-64]: The X position of the end of the line.
+y1 [integer 1-64]: The Y position of the start of the line.
+y2 [integer 1-64]: The Y position of the end of the line.
+color [hex color, default "000000"]: The nominal color of the line (may not be the color of every pixel, see the "antialias" setting)
+antialias [boolean, default false]: Whether to apply a (very) crude smoothing algorithm to the line to reduce jagged edges at the expense of making the line slightly blurry.
