Hi,
have you actually tried them with a PixMap? I know the docs say "window",
but often that just means a control. I can't test this myself at the moment,
so I'm just guessing that they might work. If, after testing, they still
don't work give me another reminder to investigate.
---------
cheers
Derek

My bad. I just tried them and they DO work. The reason I thought
they didn't was because the first time I tried, I forgot to set
the pen color and so black on black doesn't show up too well.
I checked the doc and saw that they wanted a WINDOW handle so
I dind't even try any more.
Thanks for fixing my problem even though it was a "user error"
instead of a bug.
later,
Lewis Townsend.
PS: my game is coming along nicely now. I should have a demo
ready soon. No, it's not the Karitaren game I have been working
on forever but a different one. A sort of "classic" game,
revamped, use your imaginations.

It probably means that the docs could be improved though.
