I don't think there's another way.

Re: SDLx::Text - replace old text?
Hi Alex,
This is actually the correct behavior. You need to redraw the
background before writing the new text. The easiest way to do that is
with:
$app-draw_rect( undef, 0x00FF );
The undef there indicates that the entire surface should be used as
the rectangle. See draw_rect in SDLx::Surface for more information.
Cheers,
Jeff

Dear all!
I want to replace an SDLx::Text by some other text.
Do I have to redraw the whole surface that was covered by the old text in
order to replace it by a new text?
The following script demonstrates my problem:
[code]
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use SDL;
use SDL;
use SDLx::App;
use SDLx::Text;
my $app = SDLx::App-new(
exit_on_quit = 1,
);
my $message = SDLx::Text-new;
$message-write_to( $app, Hello, World! );
$app-update;
$message-text('Susan');
$message-write_to( $app );
$app-update();
$app-run();
[/code]
First, the text Hello World! is drawn to the surface. Then, I alter the
text and draw it again. But the old hello world text still remains on the
surface.
I don't want that. I want Hello World! to disappear and Susan so show up.
How do I do that?
Best regards,
Alex
Re: SDLx::Text - replace old text?
But the surface is not an SDLx::Surface ... maybe we should change that at
least on the text surface. I think that once you decide to rewrite on the
text surface it should do that.
How about we add $text-clear(); ?

I just realized this was discussed on Github, so you can probably
ignore what I wrote.
Regarding the surface, SDLx::App is a SDLx::Surface. That's what I
was referring to. I don't think it's safe to make any assumptions
about what's behind the text, so it should be the module user's
responsibility to clear whatever is behind it.
