Here is an example of using the dummy graphics context to get the pixel length and height of a string.

Here is an example of using the dummy graphics context to get the pixel length and height of a string :

<syntaxhighlight>local gc = platform.gc()                    -- Get the dummy graphics context

<syntaxhighlight>local gc = platform.gc()                    -- Get the dummy graphics context

gc:begin()                                  -- Makes it the current graphics context

gc:begin()                                  -- Makes it the current graphics context
