Subpanels problem about python-tcod HOT 1 CLOSED

No problem, I'm always looking for any kind of feedback with the project.

python-tdl's printStr method isn't nearly as flexible as in native libtcod. You're mostly supposed to use Python's native string functions to format strings and draw them that way.

The setColors method has no affect on draw* operations and you also need to use the move method to place the virtual cursor before calling printStr, this is why the text was only placed in the upper left corner in your example. And because they don't change the defaults of draw* methods those drawRect calls were drawing empty white on black rectangles.

It might be confusing actually, draw* calls always default to white on black without any exceptions. I could try changing it but because they're so frequently called that any added behaviors often have major impacts on the speed of the library.

I fixed the render_bar issues in the project you gave me, I basically commented out setColors and printStr and replaced them with only draw* calls and Python string formatting, you should see a pull request for it on GitHub somewhere soon.

If you have any other issues I'll be willing to help with them.
