Fonts¶

The Basic edition includes the Terminal font with

sizes 8, 12, 16 and 24;
large sizes 16, 12, 32 and 48;
ISO 8859-1 or Latin 1 extended set of characters 0x00..0xff;

Configuration¶

The fonts are provided as header files and added to the application statically at build-time.

No configuration is required, as FONT_MODE is set to USE_FONT_TERMINAL.

Use¶

``` cpp String text = “abAB12”;

myScreen.selectFont(Font_Terminal16x24); myScreen.gText(0, 0, text); myScreen.gTextLarge(100, 0, text); ```

selectFont(): selects the font based on its index, from range 0..fontMax() - 1; or its name, Font_Terminal6x8, Font_Terminal8x12,Font_Terminal12x16 and Font_Terminal16x24.
gText(): prints a text at the graphic coordinates.
gTextLarge(): prints a text at the graphic coordinates with twice the size.

On the example above, the 16x24 character becomes a 32x48 character.

All other functions described at the example for Text are available.

Example¶

This is the core of the code from example EXT4_LargeFont.ino.

``` cpp void displayMultiplier() { myScreen.setOrientation(ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE); uint16_t x = 0; uint16_t y = 0;

String text = "abAB12";
uint8_t length = text.length();

myScreen.selectFont(Font_Terminal16x24);
myScreen.gText(x, y, text);
x += myScreen.characterSizeX() * length;
myScreen.gTextLarge(x, y, text);
y += myScreen.characterSizeY() * 2;
x = 0;

myScreen.selectFont(Font_Terminal12x16);
myScreen.gText(x, y, text);
x += myScreen.characterSizeX() * length;
myScreen.gTextLarge(x, y, text);
y += myScreen.characterSizeY() * 2;
x = 0;

myScreen.selectFont(Font_Terminal8x12);
myScreen.gText(x, y, text);
x += myScreen.characterSizeX() * length;
myScreen.gTextLarge(x, y, text);
y += myScreen.characterSizeY() * 2;
x = 0;

myScreen.selectFont(Font_Terminal6x8);
myScreen.gText(x, y, text);
x += myScreen.characterSizeX() * length;
myScreen.gTextLarge(x, y, text);
y += myScreen.characterSizeY() * 2;
x = 0;

myScreen.flush();
hV_HAL_delayMilliseconds(8);

} ```
