Plot vs. Writepixel

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Plot vs. Writepixel

Just reading through the 2D section of the Blitz3D docs in order to increase my general knowledge of possible uh, possibilities, in BlitzMax.

Does anyone have an opinion about the plot command compared to the writepixel command? As far as I understand if I use writepixel i will not change the setcolor parameter which affects all graphics? Is there any difference in speed between the two? Is writepixel even viable in BlitzMax?

Any light shed on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
