String Help
« on: June 22, 2010, 12:19:51 pm »
why does this code only display 15 characters rather than 16?
Code: [Select]
.TEST
"0123456789ABCDEF->Str1
Fix 5                 // text is displayed on buffer
Fix 1                // large text
Text(0,0,Str1
DispGraph
Fix 0       
Fix 4                 // reset flags

i get 0123456789ABCDE displayed on my calculator, how can i make it display the F as well?

Err...
No idea.  Add another character to the string and post the results.

then i just get 123456789ABCDEF which is still 15 characters. i tried having 00123456789ABCDEFF to no avail. there SHOULD be enough room on the screen to display the text... right?

Maybe...
Well, look at it this way.  Is the 15th character nuzzled up on the edge?

This is weird. I just copied the code above (added DiagnosticOff so Done doesn't get in the way) and I got "_23456789ABCDEF_"

EDIT: Whoops, forgot the '0' at the beginning, but when I added that, it now says "p123456789ABCDE_"

I'll just answer the question from the top: Text( in Axe uses the same BCALL that Text( in BASIC does. If you've ever tried to display a 3-wide character (most of them), and the space after it would be the 95th column, it doesn't display (This is actually true for all chars). Basically, TI doesn't want you trying to draw to the 95th column. (This is the last column, indexed from 0, as is normal)
Silly, silly TI...

ouch, I thought TI let us draw text there in ASM at least... Oh well I guess we need to rely on custom font routines then or simply not use that column of pixels for text x.x

What I hate the most is when slightly drawing text out of the screen, the entire char won't even display at all. When scrolling text out of the screen, it looks so glitchy

If you were wondering how I did it, I just used a sort of cheap way. I drew all the characters not on the right edge of the screen normally. Then, I drew the character that should be on the right edge somewhere else, in an unused spot on the screen, and used For() loops to loop through every pixel, copy the pixel to where it should be, and unset the pixels in the place I drew the character.

conj() works great for vertical scrolling, but won't work for horizontal scrolling.

Though if you through in some Horizontal +/-'s before you DispGraph, then it would work to a degree, as long as you're not trying to do a greyscale background or anything like that.
