DrawText() background color
Monkey Forums/Monkey Programming/DrawText() background color
| ||
| This is just a very simple question, but one that I couldn't find answered in the forums; when using Monkey's unmodified DrawText() function, it draws a black rectangle before drawing the text on top of it. How do I control the colour of the background rectangle or make it draw the text with a transparent background, like BlitzMax functionality? Thanks! |

| The Text functions of Mojo are limited, you should only use them for debug purposes. There are some text modules available, Diddy has one; but I like this one |

| Drag and drop this font below into your monkey module/mojo/data folder to replace the original this one has a transparent background. V  ^ otherwise you are going to have to create or use a module for handling fonts on your own. can you see it? it's there. |

| DrawText uses an image to draw the characters, it doesnt use any fonts. The current image strip has a black blackground. Be careful of using too much text on your screens as every character will be an extra image that needs to be drawn. |
