Hi Roman, Okay, I had contemplated this and though that it must be possible to do this easier. But No! This seems somehow like a hack, but I suppose pix_ things are there for image manipulation, not image creation...
I am using OSX so there is currently some problem with GEM and fonts and PD and...hmm... so it remains undoable anyway :-> But thanks: I will simply build a few simple graphical objects to transfer the information, then use pix_snap to get images for recording. Thank you muchly!
