Definition

INT write_in_map ( <INT fontID> , <STRING text> , <INT alignment> )

Creates a new map in memory with the given text on it (with the map borders as tight around the text as possible).

Parameters

INT fontID	- The FontID of the font to be used for the text.
STRING text	- The text to be used.
INT alignment	- The type of alignment.

Returns

INT : graph number of the newly created map (in file 0, memory).

Notes

Map_put() or map_xput() can be used to put the newly created text map on another map (this is also why the alignment parameter is handy: it enables you to chose alignment when putting the text map on another map).
