Sure! Just locate the element you want to draw in, set up a 2d context, start a path, move to one end of the line, draw a line, and then stroke that line so it fills in! How much simpler could it be really?

In QBasic it takes even less symbols than your response has :)

Welcome to the Internet and let me be your guide:

I sincerely wish that the post you linked was sarcastic as well, but it was probably serious which makes the (former) QBasic programmer in me a little bit sad.

I'm smiling now :-)

I thought it was a well intended explanation that just wasn't detailed enough.
