4.3 OVERLOAD OF SOME METHODS
Some methods (e.g. WriteString) suggest overloads where it is necessary to set the row, as they
are taken from the RowAddress properties. Similarly the StartX and StartY properties
define the defaults for X and Y of some commands.
For example the following is the same:
..equivalent to
manager.WriteString('A', 0,
'message');
manager.SetPause('A', 1000);
this.RowAddress = 'A';
manager.WriteString(0,
'message');
manager.SetPause(1000);
manager.ResetArea(10,15,20,20)
this.StartX=10;
this.StartY=15;
manager.ResetArea(20,20)
If the DontUpdate property is set to true, this allows you to send the commands to the display
board without displaying them and to display them only after having set to false.
The BinaryOperation property identifies the way pixels are written; for example if it is set to
NOT, writing can be 'reversed'. Similarly, a ResetArea with NOT will draw a rectangle.
