Hi Andreas

In the samples that come with PBWin:
c:\pbwin90\Samples\Ddt\Graphic\Digital\DIGITAL.BAS or
c:\pbwin90\Samples\Ddt\Graphic\PowerBASIC Pong\PowerBASIC Pong.bas

Then, on my web site, there's a sample.

Or in my gbSnippets PowerBASIC source code library, look for example number gbs_00172. For that matter, there are a dozen+ graphic examples in the category "Graphics" of the library.

Lots of options.

Hello Andreas.

As a general rule, you will get the best response from these forums if you post a small piece of compileable source code which will lead people quickly to the problem.

Quite often, at least in my experience, just creating that small piece of code will help you to solve the problem yourself.

Hope this helps.

Andreas, What happened to you (asking for help, and then soon after finding the answer on your own) is a common practice among (thoughtful) programmers.

What I believe happens is that the stress of asking the question itself ("How do I frame it so they understand?") leads to the solution, only we don't realize until after we've asked the question and the light goes on. That's why a questioner is often (and should be always be) asked to "post the code/example".

The very act of posting code often brings the answer because the code is viewed in a different light by the programmer (Nobody wants to post sloppy code in front of his peers. At least not here anyway.) In your case, just asking the question was enough to solve your problem.
