Drawing lines anchored to teh bottom left of the screen

[muthaf]

Hi,

Is there any way of draw lines that are effectively using the RELATIVETOLEFT and RELATIVETOBOTTOM params? I want to draw some stuff in that space and encapsulate it with bordering.

As you have probably realized, those flags do not work with the drawLine() functions. One thing you can do, however, is to use the drawText() functions in conjunction with the line-draw characters in the Terminal font to create borders, boxes, etc. It is admittedly a kludge but it does work.

Attached is a sample EFS with a drawBox function.

As Alex just pointed out to me, there is an even easier way of doing it. Just use the drawTextPixel() function with the Text.FRAME flag to create the box at the size you desire. A much cleaner (and less processor intensive) way of doing it.

Fantastic, thanks for the help.
