Cls() function

Flype · Post by **Flype** » Fri Jul 25, 2003 9:33 pm

it could be useful to have a new 2DDrawing function :

Cls( [color.l] )
ClsRGB( red.b, green.b, blue.b )

It could be used in this context :

StartDrawing( WindowOutput() )
Cls()
StopDrawing()

or

StartDrawing( ImageOutput() )
Cls()
StopDrawing()

etc...

You can use a filled box to simulate CLS command (If you're writting about CLS as CLear Screen / drawing surface)

i know but i'm wondering if a box drawing is slower than an asm coded Cls function

but, maybe, it's useless...

It is a bit slower, but why anyone needs a lightning-fast CLS? I think 64 bit integers are much more important than CLS, but this is only my opinion.

we wish what we need in our develpment

, because i'm experiencing speed problem but i think that i could do it in a better way

Box is very fast, I did a real-time zoom for my ZX Painter with boxes, so maybe your speed problem lies in a different part of your program.

Hello LCD,

so maybe your speed problem lies in a different part of your program.

Yes, it was... I correct it and now it runs really faster. The problem wasn't at all dependant of the Box function which is, i'm agree, fast enough... The problem was in the AudioRecorder example i posted.

Great, maybe I heped you probably a bit...
