MakeShadowBitmapFont

MakeShadowBitmapFont FontIndex, FontColour, ShadowOffsetX, ShadowOffsetY, ShadowColour

Parameters:     FontIndex = The font index you wish to convert     FontColour = The colour the bitmap text should be stored in     ShadowOffsetX = The offset the shadow along the X axis     ShadowOffsetY = The offset the shadow along the Y axis     ShadowColour = The colour of the fonts shadow

Returns: NONE

MakeShadowBitmapFont converts a windows font to a special shadowed bitmap version. When converting the font to bitmaps, it first draw a shadow of a letter behind the actual letter. The shadow is merely the letter drawn with an offset in a differnt colour. You choose the offset and colour you want. Beware though, if you set the offsets too far they will write off the letters bitmaps. FACTS:       * Note: This command really only works with windows bitmap fonts. Since True typed windows fonts have problems with anti alias artifacts. Mini Tutorial:       This example loads two copies of the courier font. The Second is converted to a shadowed bitmap font. Then it displays some text.          ; load the courier font as font #2   LoadFont "courier",2,32,0    ; load the courier font as font #3   LoadFont "courier",3,32,0 ; shadow this font   MakeShadowBitmapFont 3,RGB(255,255,255),2,1,RGB(8,8,8)         Cls RGB(180,140,50)    ; render the normal font   t$="This looks normal..."   SetFont 2   Text 100,100,t$    ; Render the shadowed font   SetFont 3   t$="Better Looking Text!!"   Text 100,200,t$       ; Display the Screen and wait for the user to press a key   Sync   WaitKey
