1 DisplayDevice Object (topic)DisplayDevice is an abstract object derived from Device. DisplayDevice adds functionality related to the configuration of the display, such as the refresh rate and resolution.PropertiesCalculatedRefreshDuration IDSegmentCopyVerticalOffset VerticalBlankSimulatedCount CalculatedRefreshRate NameTagVerticalBlankSimulationEnabled ColorDepth RefreshDurationStats VerticalBlankDetectedCount XRes EchoClients SegmentCopyMaxHeight VerticalBlankDurationStats YRes MethodsCalcActualRefreshRate Close Open Suspend CalculateRefreshRate CreateCanvas PaletteWaitForVerticalBlankCanvas GetStateResumeSee AlsoCanvas Object (topic)Device Object (topic) Palette Object (topic)2 DisplayDevice.CreateCanvas (method)SyntaxSet CanvasName = Display.CreateCanvasDescriptionCreates the current canvas, CanvasName, as an offscreen canvasCommentsThe offscreen canvas will remain offscreen until it is set as the current display canvasPortions of the offscreen canvas can be copied to the current display canvas by using the Canvas.Copy methodExampleThis example loads the BlueCar.bitmap onto the offscreen canvas, then copies it to the display canvas.Declare two canvases, one off-screen, and one as the active displayDim cnvs As CanvasDim offScreenCnvs As Canvasuse the Canvas method to create an active display canvasSet cnvs = Display.Canvasuse the CreateCanvas to create an off-screen canvasSet offScreenCnvs = Display.CreateCanvasDeclare two rectangles to define the source and destination areasDim src As RectDim dest As Rectdefine source rect as full screensrc.Left = 0src.Top = 0src.Right = Display.XRessrc.Bottom = Display.YResdefine destination rect as top left quadrantdest.Left = 0dest.Top = 0dest.Right = Display.XRes/2dest.Bottom = Display.YRes/2cnvs.TextColor = CColor (blue)cnvs.Text Display.XRes/2, Display.YRes/2, Loading image.Sleep(3000)Load the image to off screen canvasoffScreenCnvs.FillColor = CColor(Blue)offScreenCnvs.ClearoffscreenCnvs.LoadImage bluecar.bmpCopy image to display canvascnvs.Text Display.XRes/2, Display.YRes/2, Copying image.cnvs.Copy offScreenCnvs, src, destSleep 3000Note: To run this example with E-BasicExample.es, copy the script aboveand paste it into the Setup InLine object.
