----------------------------------- Jestar Wed Nov 28, 2007 11:53 am Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- I was wondering if it was possible to get rid of the white background behnind the text? am i able to just make it clear? http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/623/possibletx7.png ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Nov 28, 2007 12:46 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- No, at least not in the way you are using it. functions like put where ment for non graphics mode. If you whont text in graphics mode you should use functions like Font.Draw that is a graphical text function. I think it is Font.Draw, i have not looked it up in some time. ----------------------------------- Jestar Wed Nov 28, 2007 3:38 pm Re: Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- but then how would i do a counter like i am doing in the screenshot for time..? ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Nov 28, 2007 3:44 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- The same way you whould animate an image. It has to be double buffered (view offscreen and view upadate). ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Nov 28, 2007 3:45 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- Say way as you're doing it now. Take the same string you're constructing for put and pass it to Font.Draw(). Look up the documentation for proper usage. ----------------------------------- Nick Wed Nov 28, 2007 3:50 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- there both Font.Draw and Draw.Text they work the same and as a added benifit they also come in almost all fonts and sizes(i think all but i put almost just in case) ----------------------------------- Jestar Wed Nov 28, 2007 3:53 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- It does not allow me to use variables in Font.Draw(), could you explain further on how i should go about this? ----------------------------------- Nick Wed Nov 28, 2007 3:57 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- yes yes it does what is probably happening is you are trying to pass an int through Font.Draw try intstr() intstr will transform and integer into a string so: Font.Draw(intstr(myIntVar),x,y,font,color) ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Nov 28, 2007 3:58 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- you are probably using it incorrectly. It's time to show us some code. ----------------------------------- HeavenAgain Wed Nov 28, 2007 3:58 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- var font1: int font1 := Font.New ("serif:12") var hi : string := "HI" Font.Draw (hi, 50, 30, font1, red) probably you have to convert your number into string first. using intstr ----------------------------------- Jestar Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:04 pm Re: Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- alright i'll show you some code...this is what it is with the put put clockhour, ":" .. if clockmin = 0 then put clockmin, "0" .. else put clockmin .. end if View.Update this is it with Font.Draw var font1: int if clockmin = 0 then font1 := Font.New ("serif:12") Font.Draw (clockmin, 50, 30, font1, red) else Font.Draw (clockmin, 50, 30, font1, red) .. end if View.Update ----------------------------------- HeavenAgain Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:05 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- clockmin is an int, which is wrong (i think) should be a String ----------------------------------- Jestar Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:08 pm Re: Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- yes it is a int. but if i set it as a string i cant give it a value...i'm so confused.. ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:10 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- Font.Draw (intstr(clockmin), 50, 30, font1, red) intstr should covert ints to strings (i maybe missing some partmatiers, look it up in turing help) ----------------------------------- HeavenAgain Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:10 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- try this var font1: int if clockmin = 0 then font1 := Font.New ("serif:12") Font.Draw (intstr(clockmin), 50, 30, font1, red) else Font.Draw (intstr(clockmin), 50, 30, font1, red) .. end if View.Update ----------------------------------- Jestar Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:13 pm Re: Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- when i use that it says "Process "day": Variable has no Value. ----------------------------------- HeavenAgain Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:20 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- well... :roll: then it have no value... i do not see the variable in the code you pasted, so im not sure what is going on in your program. ----------------------------------- Jestar Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:22 pm Re: Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- var clockmin : int := 0 var clockhour : int := 8 those are the two time variables i am using to make the clock. ----------------------------------- HeavenAgain Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:27 pm RE:Is it possible to get rid of... ----------------------------------- its not clockmin or hour its complaining something about a day variable?
