 Creating temporary canvas


I need a temporary canvas to draw to, but when I attempt to create one, I get several application errors. How do I do this?   

    Create a Bitmap, and use the TBitmap's canvas property to draw on. The following example creates a Bitmap, draw on its' canvas, draws the canvas to the form's backgound, and then free the bitmap. Example:

    procedure TForm .Button Click(Sender: TObject);
    var
      bm : TBitmap;
    begin
      bm := TBitmap.Create;
      bm.Width :=  00;
      bm.Height :=  00;
      bm.Canvas.Brush.Color := clRed;
      bm.Canvas.FillRect(Rect(0, 0,  00,  00));
      bm.Canvas.MoveTo(0, 0);
      bm.Canvas.LineTo( 00,  00);
      Form .Canvas.StretchDraw(Form .ClientRect,
                               Bm);
      bm.Free;
    end;
