this is a gemlog about the fig language (originally fig basic) and similar topics. it has no relation to fig forth.

fig is a minimalist educational language which (now) uses text for colour graphics. it has fewer than 100 commands, and translates to python (or pypy2).

here is a sample: (indentation is optional, so are = and ; syntax)

```
for p 1 5 1
    now = "hello world" ; ucase ; colortext 5 ; print
    next
```
