Drawing vector graphics in DHTML with Javascript

Code:

• <script Language="JavaScript">
  
  r=0
  g=0
  b=0
  
  function pset(x,y,wi,he)
  {
    document.write ("<img src='../1x1.gif' style='z-index:-10; position:absolute; left:"+x+";top:"+y+";width:"+wi+";height:"+he+";background:rgb("+r+","+g+","+b+")'>") 
  }
  
  kx=400
  ky=400
  x0=(window.screen.width-20)/2
  y0=400
  
  r=g=b=0
  pset(x0-kx/2,y0,kx,2)
  pset(x0,y0-ky/2,2,ky)
  g=255
  for(x=-kx/4;x<kx/4;x++)
  {  
    y=x*x/kx*8
    pset(x+x0,-y+y0,2,2)
  }
  g=0
  r=255
  for(x=-kx/2;x<kx/2;x++)
  {  
    y=Math.sin(x/kx*20)*ky/10
    pset(x+x0,-y+y0,2,2)
  }
  r=0
  b=255
  for(i=-100;i<100;i=i+0.5)
  {  
    x=Math.cos(i/100*3.15)*kx/4
    y=Math.sin(i/100*3.15)*ky/4
  
    pset(x+x0,-y+y0,2,2)
  }
   
  
  </script>

Questions:

• @spam@ade_turner at spamhotmail.com asks:

  I would like to use something like this to draw with.
  If you make subsequent calls to this in an event, this function destroys the whole html.
  How can this be avoided ?

  James Newton replies: What do you mean by "destroys the whole html"? What event are you calling it from?+
