Hi Tobi,yes this looks pretty much like what I want to do, just that I need only pixel on or off and a way to export it as a C code byte array.
I have a first version which allows me to define character size and edit the character, but when I choose character sizes bigger than 20x20 pixels it takes quite a while to initially draw it (editing works fine though).
I currently use a picturebox for each pixel representation so I guess it takes a while to initialize all those PictureBoxes...

So I started playing around with the Paint class in Gambas3. So here are my questions: If I wanted to create my own class in which I would need to draw stuff like boxes which represent the characters pixels and make them clickable to activate or deactivate pixels (eg. draw characters), which class would I use to inherit from (DrawAerea?)? Also how would I be able to draw form within my new class when it seems to be only possible to draw in the _Draw event of the DrawingArea (can I hijack the _Draw event insde the new class inherited from DrawigArea to do the drawing)? I guess what I want is more like my own component to display and edit a pixel character. Tips and help would be highly appreciated! UliI once wrote a program for a game project at our school to design 8*8 sqpx sprites with a palette of 4 different colours (this system is oriented at Nintendo's GameBoy internal workings). The whole thing is implemented using a CTile class which works on an Image object internally. I attached a screenshot of it. Frankly, it is not really good for fonts, as you can see :-) Is that of the kind you want to write?
