DrawFontChr

DrawFontChr FontIndex, ChrIndex, Xpos, Ypos, [Transparent=1]

Parameters:     FontIndex = The Index of the font you wish to draw from     ChrIndex = The ASC II index of this character     Xpos = The X coordinate of where it should draw this character     Ypos = The Y coordinate of where it should draw this character     [Transparent=1] = Draw the character transparent or solid (1=Transparent, 0 = solid)

Returns: NONE

The DrawFontChr command draws a character from a bitmap font to current surface (screen or image). FACTS:       * DrawFontChr can not draw (Windows Fonts) to FX images. Mini Tutorial:       This example loads the windows true type Arial, and the builds a custom bitmap version of it. In fact this example basically replicates what the MakeBitmapFont does. But this approach gives you the control and freedom to build or import hand drawn character sets into PB as a custom font.          ; -------------------------------------------------------- ; For This example, were going to build a PB Bitmap font ; from the Windows Arial font as an example. Normally you'd ; load a set of pre-drawn characters in and import those... ; --------------------------------------------------------    ; Load the Windows True Type Font Arial (50 point)   LoadFont "Arial",2,50,1   SetFont 2    ; Set the Width + Height of our custom bitmap font   ChrWIdth=48   ChrHeight=55         CreateBitmapFont 10,ChrWidth,ChrHeight    ; Manually Create the characters of our bitmap font   For lp=Asc(" ") To 255    ; Draw a random shade box for each chr's backdrop      ShadeBox xpos+0,0,xpos+Chrwidth,Ypos+ChrHeight,RndRGB(),RndRGB(),0,lp          ; Draw the character and it's shadow      Ink RGB(32,32,32)      CenterText xpos+(chrwidth/2)-2,ypos-2,Chr$(lp)            Ink RGB(64,64,64)      CenterText xpos+(chrwidth/2)-1,ypos-1,Chr$(lp)            Ink RGB(200,240,255)      CenterText xpos+(chrwidth/2),ypos,Chr$(lp)          ; This the section of screen at position 0x,0y for    ; This character in font 10      GetFontChr 10,lp,0,0   Next    ; Clear the Screen   Cls RGB(70,30,50)       ; Calc the screen center   cw=GetScreenWidth()/2   ch=GetScreenHeight()/2    ; Display PLayBasic in the center of the screen   CenterText cw,0,"Bitmap Character Set"       ; Set the output coords of the bitmap font  characters   Xpos=ChrWidth   Ypos=60       ; Loop from the Space charact the Z charcter.   For lp=Asc(" ") To 255    ;asc("z")    ; DRaw this character at this X/Y coord      DrawFontChr 10,lp,xpos,ypos,false          ; If if the Xpos coord it too wide,    ; if so it reset it, if not it adds onto the x position      If Xpos+ChrWIdth>(GetScreenWidth()-ChrWidth)         Xpos=ChrWidth         Ypos=Ypos+ChrHeight      Else         Xpos=Xpos+ChrWIdth      EndIf   Next       ; refresh the screen and wait for a key press   Sync   WaitKey    This example would output.      no Text output.
