Feature request - fonts

Post by rudi »

I really miss a build in function, that can draw text at a certain position.

For example a new function SGRAPH that draws the text in ALPHA at X/Y.
And perhaps even the posibility to choose from some font sizes.

I know that I can, and I do, use AGRAPH to render whatever I want and I also know, that there exists programs that can do this, for example Bill (Smithville NJ)'s exelent programs here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=446

But I do not like writing programs, that are dependent on other programs and in my oppinion, a device with such a large graphical display, drawing strings is an essential function.
