Hi Mohamed,

I'm currently at FMX. I'll be looking into this after my return next Monday.

I've also experienced this. DrawBitmap() seems to use the last pen
color instead of mixing alpha pixels with the pixels that are already on
the GeUserArea.

No need for the explicit additional bitmap and alpha channel allocation.
You can set the transparency value with SetColor(r,g,b,a).

i.e. cm->SetColor(r,g,b,128) will give a half transparent output.

I can't confirm. It works. Here is the code:  

OffScreenOn();
    	Int32 w = 100;
    	Int32 h = 100;
     
    	AutoAlloc<GeClipMap> bmp;
    	bmp->Init(w,h,32);
    	bmp->BeginDraw();
     
    	bmp->SetDrawMode(GE_CM_DRAWMODE_COPY,255);
    	bmp->SetColor(255,255,255,0); //Fully transparent
    	bmp->FillRect(0,0,w,h); //Set the whole bitmap transparent
    	  
            bmp->SetDrawMode(GE_CM_DRAWMODE_COPY,255);
    	bmp->SetColor(255,255,255,128); //50% transparent
    	bmp->TextAt(10,10,"Katachi rocks.. :-D"); //Draw text
    	bmp->EndDraw();
    	DrawBitmap(bmp->GetBitmap(),0,0,w,h,0,0,w,h,BMP_ALLOWALPHA);

Hi Samir,

try to add DrawSetPen(Vector(0.8, 0.2, 0.2)); "or any other color" after OffScreenOn(); and you will find the bug, I tested your code and the same problem appears.

Then don't. Why are you using DrawSetPen?

drawing other stuff prior to texts, should I draw everything in one clipmap? not sure about performance, I will test, it may worth a shot!!

yes, if you don't have a good reason, you should stay with the clip map drawing functions.
