(done) dsb_textformat && dsb_bitmap_textout

Not sure if it's worth Sophia's time on this one...
The above assigns a format to our textout, then paints our text onto a bitmap. If we pass alignment as MULTILINE it get's interesting as we can have long sausages of text automatically sliced and diced for us using the chars_per_line value.
Great. But, I'd like the user to read a paragraph, click, read the next paragraph painted on the same canvas. I don't know how far 'down' I am on the canvas, unless I boot up the app a couple of times and change the x value accordingly for each paragraph. The dsb_bitmap_textout returns no height offset value or anything so does anyone have a better suggestion than trial and error or pen&paper math.
Code: Select all
dsb_textformat(chars_per_line, y_offset_per_line, max_lines)
