DrawingMode()

Syntax

DrawingMode(Mode)

Change the drawing mode for text and graphics output.

Parameters

Mode

The behavior for further drawing operations. It can be a combination of the following flags: #PB_2DDrawing_Default This is the default drawing mode when the drawing starts. Text is displayed with a solid background and graphic shapes are filled. If the current output has an alpha channel, the drawing operations will only modify the color components and leave the alpha channel unchanged. #PB_2DDrawing_Transparent If this flag is set then the background will be transparent with the DrawText() command. #PB_2DDrawing_Outlined If this flag is set then shapes will be drawn as outlines only and not filled. This applies to commands such as Circle, Box, etc.

Return value

None.

Remarks

To use several modes at once, you have to use the '|' (OR) operator. The following is an example for XOR'ed outlined shapes:

  DrawingMode(#PB_2DDrawing_Outlined | #PB_2DDrawing_XOr)
