No, that's why L6 should be the one you do the most drawing to.

Hm, well I guess worst-case scenario one could Exch() tho that would add to the size..

I don't know if anybody's posted this before, but since I don't have time to read through 185 pages of this thread, could you make black text a single command on 4-level grayscale?

Drawing text to the back buffer has been asked for multiple times, and has been rejected multiple times. Although it's a great idea, Axe uses the OS text drawing routine, which is only capable of drawing text either directly to the screen or to the front buffer.

Perhaps text()rr could print to L6 and then copy the printed portion to L3

Multiply by 2 and it's 8.8 :P

That would destroy part of L6, and it would be pretty much the same thing to do it in Axe code. I personally think an Axe subroutine would actually be better for that job since you know how long the text is (but a native Axe routine wouldn't).

The output of sin and cos are numbers between -128 and 127. Multiply that by two (it takes just one byte to do that) and they're between -256 to 254, which is just -1 to (almost) 1 in 8.8 fixed point.

EDIT: Was there ever even a Text()r command? ???

Ztrumpet brought up the point that it would be useful if instead of refusing to jump to an archived program's error, it uses zStart to bring up the editor instead.

The offset to jump to when the error occurs is stored at an OS address correct? If that is the case, then I can add an api entry point to edit a program and you can call it if the error occurred in the archive. Since I end up opening a program editor anyways, the goto function should work like normal.

If you want to do this, I'll also have to know how you are opening the program editor. (I've never looked very far into it)

Edit:
   That was easy

I'd love to add that but my own error scrolling isn't working yet and I feel I should at least fix that before adding a zstart entry call.  Maybe you can help me, I don't know what I'm doing wrong because I'm still not exactly sure how the OS handles edit buffers entirely.  It appears to work when instant-scrolling in small programs, but it RAM clears sometimes when scrolling to a spot greater than 8kb into the code.  Its somewhat random and not completely consistent.  How did you do it in zstart?  Do you see anything wrong?  This is the code I'm using:

Spoiler For Spoiler:

EditorExit:
   ld   a,(v_PrgmStartPage)
   or   a
   jp   nz,SystemExit
   ld   hl,v_InputName+1
   ld   de,progToEdit
   ld   bc,8
   ldir
   xor   a
   ld   (de),a
   ld   a,kPrgmEd
   B_CALL(_NewContext)
   ld   hl,(v_PrgmPtr)
   ld   bc,(v_PrgmStart)
   or   a
   sbc   hl,bc
   ld   b,h
   ld   c,l
   ld   hl,(editTail)
   add   hl,bc
   ld   (editTail),hl
   ld   hl,(editTop)
   add   hl,bc
   ld   (editCursor),hl
   ld   hl,0
   push   hl
EditorLoop:            ;Check if at beginning of program
   ld   de,(editTop)
   or   a
   sbc   hl,de
   jr   z,EditorFound
   B_CALL(_BufLeft)
   ld   hl,(editCursor)
   ld   a,(hl)
   cp   tEnter
   jr   z,EditorFound
   pop   hl
   inc   hl
   push   hl
   jr   EditorLoop
EditorFound:
   B_CALL(_BufRight)
   B_CALL(_DispEOW)
   pop   hl
   ld   a,h
   or   l
   jr   z,EditorMon
EditorScroll:
   dec   hl
   ld   a,h
   or   l
   jr   z,EditorMon
   push   hl
   B_CALL(_CursorRight)
   pop   hl
   jr   EditorScroll
EditorMon:
   res   2,(iy+50)
   res   7,(iy+20)
   res   3,(iy+5)
   B_JUMP(_Mon)

A little disassembling and this is what I came up with:

Code: [Select]
ld hl, offsetToError
ld (errOffset), hl

ld hl, op1
ld de, progCurrent-1
ld bc, 9
ldir
ld a, 3
ld (menuCurrent), a
ld a, 1
ld ($85DF), a
ld a, kEnter
bcall(_pullDownChk)
bcall(_clrTR)
bcall(_newContext0)
bcall(_gotoErr)
bcall(_mon)

This method essentially fakes a person going into the program menu and editing a program. You can leave out the bcall(_gotoError) if you aren't going to initialize (errOffset), but then it won't scroll.

I believe this will work from an app, but I've only tested it from a keyhook so far.

how does doors cs 7.1 do it? That works very well and jumps instantly to the error.
