Remarks

Using the drawing functions

The drawing functions can be used according to 2 methods:

Method 1: Using dStartDrawing
- dStartDrawing must be called before any other drawing function. dStartDrawing is used to define the element (Image control or variable) to which the drawing functions will be applied.
- When drawing on an Image control:
  - The drawing functions operate on a copy ("bitmap") of the image. You can use the drawing functions of Windows (via API or CallDLL32) but these functions must use the DC (Device Context) returned by dStartDrawing.
  - dEndDrawing and dStartDrawing must not be called in the same process.
    The drawing will not be displayed if dEndDrawing and dStartDrawing are called in the same process: it will be automatically erased.
Versions 24 and later
Method 2: indicating the drawing target directly in the syntax (via a parameter)
The <Image> parameter is used to specify directly the target of the drawing. The dStartDrawing function becomes unnecessary. This function must be deleted.
