You need to use the settextstyle calls to set up font sizes prior to calling outtext or outtextxy.

Thanks Jeff. But I'm yet having trouble adjusting the size of the outtext characters.

You can use the outtext and outtextxy subroutines to place text in an AppGraphics window.

Creating 3D graphics using AppGraphics might be a lot of work. It is definitely a 2D toolkit. Just a warning...

Trying to do a 3D comparison program. Viewer should be able to move around a stage with maybe 30 spheres at different 3D locations on the stage. But user needs to have at least a numeric id for each sphere. Is there no way to put characters on a graphics screen? If not, is there a way to show the user a split screen (one graphic, the other text)?
