This routine draws the diagonal lines in the top corners of the canopy. They are drawn so that the area outside the canopy is set to black, while anything that is already on-screen inside the canopy is left alone. The diagonals are made up of four squares, each of them one pixel wide and two pixels high, so the overall size of each diagonal is one character block (four pixels wide and eight pixels high).
