Bitmap Text Object

Topic: CM059

The advantage of using a Bitmap Text Object is that you can use fonts that won't increase the size of the project. For example, if a few characters from a unique font are used, the Bitmap Text Object displays the characters without downloading the entire font to the panel.

Note: Transparency has a significant cost in terms of CPU resources and noticeably affects screen update rates. See Adding Transparency to animation Bitmap Images.
