 == Overview ==
-Starting in 0.9.18 it is possible to reliably use drawn map mode to draw maps with scripts.
-A simple example is given below.  Note that Drawn maps use an area of 4096×2048. The examples below are static, but obviously this could be used for a random map variation—for example, simulating the Cave map by doing the fill below, then drawing random tunnels using circles that shift their course smoothly.

+
+== Preconditions ==
+First of all, you must make sure that the global variable `MapGen` is set to `mgDrawn`. This is done in `onGameInit`.
 
-== Details ==
-First, a couple of convenience functions for drawing to the map.
-<code lang="lua">
-PointsBuffer = ''  -- A string to accumulate points in
-function AddPoint(x, y, width, erase)
-    PointsBuffer = PointsBuffer .. string.char(band(x,0xff00) / 256 , band(x,0xff) , band(y,0xff00) / 256 , band(y,0xff))
-    if width then
-        width = bor(width,0x80)
-        if erase then
-            width = bor(width,0x40)
-        end
-        PointsBuffer = PointsBuffer .. string.char(width)
-    else
-        PointsBuffer = PointsBuffer .. string.char(0)
-    end
-    if #PointsBuffer > 245 then
-        ParseCommand('draw '..PointsBuffer)
-        PointsBuffer = ''
-    end
-end
-function FlushPoints()
-    if #PointsBuffer > 0 then
-        ParseCommand('draw '..PointsBuffer)
-        PointsBuffer = ''
-    end
-end
-</code>
-`AddPoint` takes an x and y location for the point, a width (indicates the start of a new line) and `erase` (whether the line is erasing from the map). The width calculation is described in [DrawnMapFormat].
+To draw maps, you only need 2 functions: `AddPoint` and `FlushPoints`. See LuaAPI for the explanation.
 
-`FlushPoints` writes out any values from `PointsBuffer` that have not already been sent to the engine.
-It would be called at the end of a drawing session.
+You also should not forget to make use of `onPreviewInit` so the map preview is displayed correctly.
 
-A simple example below.
-
+== Cave ==
+This generates a simple cave map:
 <code lang="lua">
 function onGameInit()
-    MapGen = 2
+    MapGen = mgDrawn
     TemplateFilter = 0
 
-    AddPoint(100,100,10)
-    AddPoint(2000,2000)
-    AddPoint(2000,100,10)
-    AddPoint(100,2000)
-    AddPoint(1000,1000,63,true)
-    AddPoint(1000,1000,20)
-
-    for i = 63,2,-4 do
-        AddPoint(2000,1000,i)
-        AddPoint(2000,1000,i-2,true)
-    end
-
-    for i = 1,2000,50 do
-        AddPoint(i+2000,2000,1)
-        AddPoint(4000,2000-i)
-    end
-
-    AddPoint(2000,2000,1)
-    AddPoint(4000,2000)
-    AddPoint(4000,0,1)
-    AddPoint(4000,2000)
-
-    FlushPoints()
-end
-</code>
-The first set of `AddPoint`s draws a large X and erases the centre.
-The following loop draws a set of nested points, alternating erasure and fill, which results in a set of concentric circles.
-The 2nd loop draws a web of lines and frames it using some final `AddPoint`s.

-Another brief example:
-<code lang="lua">
     for i = 200,2000,600 do
         AddPoint(1,i,63)
         AddPoint(4000,i)

         AddPoint(i,1000,63,true)
     end
     FlushPoints()
+end

+onPreviewInit = onGameInit
 </code>
 This one fills the map with solid land, and draws 4 circular erased points in it.

+The final line `onPreviewInit = onGameInit` makes sure the map preview works properly. This is the simplest way to create the preview and is a perfectly reasonable approach in this case, because the code is very simple here. The reason why `onPreviewInit` is provided is because it allows you to avoid unneccessary overhead in more complex Lua scripts.
