A Canvas to draw graphics on?

Hi all, I'm migrating from RealStudio and would like to dip into LiveCode by making a small application.

Basically what would one use in order to be able to draw graphics to a window? Much like a 2D game has a canvas (HTML5 Canvas etc) , does LiveCode have the same?

I have literally only been using RunRev LiveCode for about 2 hours. I bought the Gold Bundle and so far am very pleased with what LiveCode is all about.

Warm Regards to all,
Amon

LiveCode provides quite a nice collection of tool modes that can be used to create and edit both raster and vector graphics - see the "tool" entry in the Dictionary.

Hi Amon,
welcome to the forum.
have a look at Scott Rossi's site:

check also the rest of his site. He does some very nice graphic things with Livecode.

Kind regards
Bernd

Thanks for your replies. Spent a while going through docs and tutorials. I think I might begin testing a few things now.

Thanks again!
