• screen coordinates -- these are the coordinates of the physical computer screen, expressed in pixels. Typically, your Windows display will have the dimensions 800 X 600 pixels.
• window coordinates -- these are the coordinates of the window on the screen in which you will be drawing graphics. Typically, this is created by defining an origin -- an (x,y) position in screen coordinates for the upper left corner of the window -- as well as the window's width and height. All of these are expressed in pixels.
• graphics coordinates -- these are the coordinates that you do your drawing in. Typically, you define axes inside your window and draw using those axes just as if you were plotting on graph paper. You must have some method of translating between the graphics coordinates and the window coordinates.

With this assignment, you can think of plotting the shapes (rectangle, triangle and circle) on a piece of graph paper. Your grid data structure is that piece of graph paper. It has dimensions MAX by MAX. The squares on your grid can be numbered in two ways:

• using window coordinates, going from 0 to MAX
• using graphics coordinates, going from -(MAX-1)/2 to +(MAX-1)/2
