I am having difficulties getting to grips with pfText,pfString and pfFont.
I have managed to get some text on the screen, but changing the attributes
of this text seems near impossible. I searched through the list's archives
but found
no solution to my problems.
Three, possibly related questions are (in decreasing order of importance
for me):
1) I tried using pfStringColor to change the strings colour, but had no
success. The strings stay black (visible on a white background), even
though a pfGetStringColor tells me that the RGB values are properly set to
(1 1 1) . Should I reinitialise the string somehow after changing its
colour?
2) I scale the strings with pfStringMat etc. This works but it is a bit
cumbersome. Is there no pfFontSize command? I cannot find it inthe man
pages.
3) ThreeD fonts look very nice, but in my application they are a bit
superfluous and seem to put quite a load on my Indigo2. I just want a few
lines of simple text : are there simpler fonts for this purpopse? (I tried
using the FontManager and fmprstr() but that crashed the program).
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Bart.
