DrawText Faster Than PRINT, Output to Screen or Printer (33018)
This article was previously published under Q33018
SUMMARY
If output to the screen or WINDOW OUTPUT# to the printer is slow,
use the DrawText toolbox routine instead of PRINT statements. DrawText
is much faster than the BASIC PRINT statement. PRINT outputs each
character individually, whereas DrawText outputs an entire string of
characters at once. However, you will still need to use PRINT for
number formatting or carriage returns.
