easy PAINT question!!

Post by Captainlazy »

Im trying to use the PAINT function to fill a box on screen.

I know that this code works fine:

SCREEN 12
LINE (100, 100)-(150, 150), 4, B
PAINT (101, 101), 9, 4

BUT... My box is slightly different. Using the LINE:

LINE (616, 194)-(34, 456), 4, B

what does my PAINT code need to be in order to fill the box?? At the moment, all that is happening is that i fill outside the box! I have tried loads and loads of PAINT combinations but my usual trial and error has failed me! please help!!

Try BF instead of B on your line statement...

The BF flag produces a filled box. If you want to still use the normal PAINT statement (which is slower, I think), you need to make sure the point you are painting is inside the box. (101, 101) would be above the box in this case, so it won't work.
