Hello altogether,

I am using SetImageFont and TextWidth/TextHeight to calculate the positions of my text I want to draw. I does work well though, just I have to create a canvas before I can use the commands. Is there actually a nicer way without the need of a Graphics-element?

Many thanks in advance
Simon

Hmmm,

I haven't tried it yet - but isn't it sufficient to simply set the graphics driver? It is the driver which maintains everything - not the canvas.
