The 'draw' command works only under an X-Windows environment (unix/linux).
Work is underway to create a new user interface (AxiomUI) that among other
things will allow graphics to be viewed under other operating systems.  If
you're interested in graphics, please pitch in!

The command is described in Chapter 7 of the AxiomBook.  The syntax of the
command is::

++added:
    draw(f(x,y), x=a..b, y=c..d, options)

??changed:
-Axiom graphics requires an X-windows environment (unix/linux).
-This is not available under native windows. Axiom graphics
-may be re-written to no longer depend on X-windows and/or
-it may be eventually be possible to build Axiom graphics in
-CygWin with XWindows installed. But with the current version
-for Axiom for windows, Axiom graphics is not available.

The points in such a graph can be constructed as follows:

\begin{axiom}
lineSegments := [[point [sin(x*%pi/10)$DoubleFloat, x*%pi/10], point 
[sin((x+1)*%pi/10)$DoubleFloat, (x+1)*%pi/10]] for x in 0..20]
lineColors := [dark blue() for i in 1..20]
pointColors  := [dark blue() for i in 1..20]
lineSize := [6 for i in 1..20]
makeGraphImage(lineSegments, lineColors, pointColors, lineSize)
\end{axiom}
