Draw object questions

[keokeo]

Hey all. I am experimenting with the draw object.

I only wish to use it on passive mode but I am having problems:

1. When I draw with the brush it leaves dots instead of drawing a homogenous line.
2. I have the position of the brush pointer follow the mouse pointer but everything I draw appears about 30 pixels away from that.
3. I can't change the thickness of the line.
4. Finally I would like to know this: is the extensive use of the draw object on passive mode taxing for a game in terms of framerate, or is it generally light enough to use liberally?


Can anyone help?

Here is an example that seems to work for 1-3. As for 4, I have no idea whether or not extensive use of the draw object will slow down your framerate... maybe someone else will know the answer?

Thanks for the example that answered my first threee questions. Anyone can help with q4?

You should use the Overlay Redux object instead.
