I have bee trying out the TEXT command with the drawing colour=RGB(white), and with the background colour=RGB(red). The background colour only extends as far as the text, leaving black space at the end of the text. I would like the red background to cover the black areas. I tried COLOUR RGB(white),RGB(red) to set the background to red but it made no difference. Does anyone know how to force the background all to red? |

You can force the black area at the end of a line of text to be the same background colour as the text, by adding space characters at the end of the line. The colour command does not force the whole background to a colour, so areas not used on the screen are left black. |

Use the BOX command to draw the area that you want in the colour you want then print the TEXT over the top. That way you can colour the whole background or just a part of it. Jim VK7JH MMedit |
