Comments
A *DefineGraphic() statement defines a user-defined graphic which can contain other *Graphic() primitive statements or other user-defined *Graphic() statements. The number and type of user-defined arguments depends on the graphic.
You are allowed to define only one body and it must be the first argument.
Multiple graphic entities can be created using the same definition.
Every *DefineGraphic() statement requires an ending *EndDefine() statement.
