If you don't want a public interface to those methods, something like
lineto(x,y,x2,y2) {

if( x == x2) { vertical_line( x, y, y2); 
} else if( y1 == y2) { horizontal_line( ...

might work, although I think those functions could be of good use in
some apps (think of fast grid drawing, or so).

I used the bar function, which was a lot slower, but a forum64 user 
already posted a better solution:

  char rvs[]={COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_BLACK};

  tgi_setpalette(rvs);
  tgi_clear();

Problem is, that the tgi_setcolor() calls are not inverted. 
tgi_setcolor(COLOR_WHITE) draws black now and vice versa.

Ciao,
Andreas
