The [_PRINTMODE](_PRINTMODE) statement sets the text or [_FONT](_FONT) printing mode on a background image when using [PRINT](PRINT) or [_PRINTSTRING](_PRINTSTRING).
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
> [_PRINTMODE](_PRINTMODE) {*_KEEPBACKGROUND*|*_ONLYBACKGROUND*|*_FILLBACKGROUND*}[, imageHandle&]
|
|
|
|
## Parameter(s)
|
|
|
|
* One of 3 mode keywords is mandatory when using this statement to deal with the text background.
|
|
* *_KEEPBACKGROUND* (mode 1): Text background transparent. Only the text is displayed over anything behind it.
|
|
* *_ONLYBACKGROUND* (mode 2): Text background only is displayed. Text is transparent to anything behind it.
|
|
* *_FILLBACKGROUND* (mode 3): Text and background block anything behind them like a normal [PRINT](PRINT). **Default setting.**
|
|
* If the optional imageHandle& is omitted or = 0) it will use the current [_DEST](_DEST) image background.
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
* Use the [_PRINTMODE (function)](_PRINTMODE-(function)) to find the current [_PRINTMODE](_PRINTMODE) setting mode number.
|
|
* **The _PRINTMODE statement and function can only be used in graphic screen modes, not SCREEN 0**
