Screen Painting

---

With this option, the Sourcerer will help you draw various graphics objects on the screen. The objects include

• A line
• A rectangle
• A rounded rectangle
• An arc
• A filled rectangle
• A filled rounded rectangle
• A filled arc
• An image
• A text string

Each object will require a location as well as some additional information to draw it on the screen. Objects will be drawn with the current color and penstroke. The penstroke is a way of choosing dotted or solid lines.

In addition to the drawing options, there are several other possible operations which may have an effect on drawing:

• Get current font
• Get information about a font
• Set font
• Get red component of current color
• Get green component of current color
• Get blue component of current color
• Set color
• Set penstroke type
• Get penstroke type

Fonts in the MID Profile are not standard fonts like Arial, Helvetica, or Times as are found on desktop platforms. Rather, fonts are a set of characteristics, such as small, large, bold, etc. whose implementation is device dependent.
