hardware / software image

[PMACKAY]

Probably a silly question.. If i wanted to print normal text, including cls in the forground withouth effecting a image in the background what would be the best method


load image and set in back ground
print "all ASCII chars in foreground

do i paste background image
print on top (using a pset (which is slow) or can i print on top using print
_display to update

    or

load hardware image/software. the do normal print on top, so the background image is a sprite

_PRINTMODE _KEEPBACKGROUND

*****************

And to clear up a misunderstanding:  PRINT is slow.   You can manually PSET the points FASTER than you can PRINT them, in most cases.

See my print routines for comparison: http://qb64.freeforums.net/thread/37/custom-routines-supports-textures-shading
