Why is that? (I'm not criticizing, just interested in your reasons
for that opinion.)
Setting the Backdrop property is a very easy way to display a picture
in a Canvas or Window. But soon you want to do more, and then the
Backdrop property isn't so useful. People sometimes suffer a bit of
frustration in the course of figuring this out. Now, drawing a
picture in the Paint event handler is also quite easy and allows you
to do pretty much anything you need. But that requires a little more
understanding of how REALbasic works.
