Creating Outlines

[Maccer.]

Does anyone know how to create outlines for those dxDrawText's? You know, to make it look like sa-mp's text draws? I've seen it on some servers, but I don't know how to make it. I'm sure there's some math involved though. This effect is also known as stroke I think.

Talidan's TextLib supports stroke.

I hope you have a str- wait, no, that's not right.

dxDrawText("a",100-1,100-1,100-1,100-1,tocolor(0,0,0,255))
dxDrawText("a",100+1,100-1,100+1,100-1,tocolor(0,0,0,255))
dxDrawText("a",100-1,100+1,100-1,100+1,tocolor(0,0,0,255))
dxDrawText("a",100+1,100+1,100+1,100+1,tocolor(0,0,0,255))
dxDrawText("a",100-1,100,100-1,100,tocolor(0,0,0,255))
dxDrawText("a",100+1,100,100+1,100,tocolor(0,0,0,255))
dxDrawText("a",100,100-1,100,100-1,tocolor(0,0,0,255))
dxDrawText("a",100,100+1,100,100+1,tocolor(0,0,0,255))
dxDrawText("a",100,100,100,100,tocolor(255,255,255,255))

This draws white "a" with a black 1 pixel outline.
