	Is there any way to increase drawing speed? I'm using the 320x240 IPS touchscreen, and drawing even a small filled rect (FR) is very slow, and not usable for quickly drawing UI elements between screens.

	If you need a filled rectangle, use drawing window, then clear the drawing window with a back ground color, it is faster than regular filled rectangle function. Rectangle function is operated pixel by pixel, and also affected by the line pattern, but clearing draw window only fill the memory with special value, so, it should be faster.

	That's much faster, thanks!
