Hi,

I'm drawing a score (text) to the canvas and I'd like to update the screen with new scores. As of now, when I draw more text, it overwrites the existing instead of removing the existing text and rewriting. Does anyone know how to clear the canvas first so as to only remove the portion of the canvas with the score? I don't want to remove what will exist on the full canvas, I only want to update the score:

import appuifw
import graphics
import messaging
import e32
import positioning
import location
import sysinfo

import TopWindow, graphics

from topwindow import *
from appuifw import *
from graphics import *
class DrawScore:
	def __init__(self):
		self.score=0
		self.fillarray={}
		self.resboxoffset=2        
		self.canvas=appuifw.Canvas(redraw_callback=self.redraw)
		self.draw=Draw(self.canvas)
		appuifw.app.body=self.canvas
		self.redraw()

	def redraw(self):
		self.draw_score()
    	
	def draw_score(self):
		scoretext=u"%dlb"%self.score
		self.draw.text((35,105),scoretext,(0,192,0),"title")
		
	def clear_text(self):
		scoretext=u""

score = DrawScore()
score.score = 300
score.redraw()

Hi and welcome to the Forum Nokia discussion boards.

You could draw a rectangle of the same color as the canvas over that portion, and draw the new score over it.

hi trdillah
welcome to the forum nokia discussion boards.
I will suggest you to go through the example of "graphics primitive" in the mobile python book. I think that example will help you a lot.

This makes sense and works perfectly. Thanks!
