The DRAW Command - Background Color

Terminal · **Posted:** Mon Jan 14, 2008 5:11 am

A new command can draw color to the background, either as a solid color, or as varying colors.

DRAW y-position R G B mode

The y-position is the console line which you would like to draw a background to.

R is the amount of red between 0 and 255.
G is the amount of green between 0 and 255.
B is the amount of blue between 0 and 255.

The mode is one of the following keywords: SOLID, FLOW, FADEIN, FADEOUT, FADECENTER, FADEINVERSE. You can view these in DSO with the command: HELP DRAW

The different modes of the DRAW command are shown in the screenshot below.

The screenshot is of the following script:

Code:

SAY this is SOLID
DRAW -1 105 85 150 solid

SAY this is FADEIN
DRAW -1 105 85 150 fadein

SAY this is FADEOUT
DRAW -1 105 85 150 fadeout

SAY this is FADECENTER
DRAW -1 105 85 150 fadecenter


SAY this is FADEINVERSE
DRAW -1 105 85 150 fadeinverse

SAY this is FLOW
DRAW -1 105 85 150 flow

What does the y-pos do if its set to -1?

EDIT: never mind, I think it means previous line. Is this correct?

Yes, -1 is up one line. So if you use SAY in a script, and you want to follow it up with a background color straight away, just use -1.

This will never be a positive number, as you cannot print backgrounds to lines which do not exist yet. (although it can be 0, if you really want).

And it is just possible to draw a line? Not, to draw a little rectangle before the Text (like this)

[ ] Text

All ohter questions I will try out

So you mean draw a little bar that stops before you text?
