I'd like to create a function draw which fills the terminal with dots.
According to http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x361.html:
Move the cursor forward N columns: 33[< N>C
In the first place, I did this to fill the first column:
draw_col()
local cols=$(tput cols)
local x=0
while [[ $x -lt $cols ]]
do
echo -en "33[$xC."
x=$(( x+1 ))
done
Why didn't only the first column get fully filled?
What's wrong?

Because printing the dot moves the cursor one position right, too. "Moving forward" means from the current position, not from the line beginning.
