[DUG]: text on canvas

[Jeremy Coulter]

Hi All.

 

I have been doing a bit of experimenting the last couple of days.

I want to create a VERY simple report writer for myself, as sometimes QR or other report writers are a bit of overkill for a really simple report. PLUS I wanted a new project to work on.

 

Basically the problem I have is, that I am sending the text to an image components canvas (this is D4).

When I resize the image, i.e. zoom in or zoom out, the text looks like CRAP !

I had a look at how QR does this, and basically it saves the image canvas to a metafile in memory then loads it back in, but when I tried this, I kept getting an invalid metafile when I either saved to stream or saved to file.

So I went back to just using the canvas directly.

 

Is there a wee trick I am missing here that will make the text resize properly and not look all chuncky ?

I have tried diff. fonts, but still get the same problem. I am currently using Time Roman.

 

Anyone got any ideas ?

 

Thanks
