Glcd_Set_Font
Prototype
sub procedure Glcd_Set_Font(dim byref const activeFont as byte, dim
aFontWidth, aFontHeight as byte, dim aFontOffs as byte)
Description Sets font that will be used with Glcd_Write_Char and Glcd_Write_Text routines.
Parameters - activeFont: font to be set. Needs to be formatted as an array of char
- aFontWidth: width of the font characters in dots.
- aFontHeight: height of the font characters in dots.
- aFontOffs: number that represents difference between the mikroBasic PRO for PIC32 character
set and regular ASCII set (eg. if ‘A’ is 65 in ASCII character, and ‘A’ is 45 in the mikroBasic PRO for
PIC32 character set, aFontOffs is 20). Demo fonts supplied with the library have an offset of 32, which
means that they start with space.
The user can use fonts given in the le “__Lib_GLCDFonts” le located in the Uses folder or create
his own fonts.
List of supported fonts:
- Font_Glcd_System3x5
- Font_Glcd_System5x7
- Font_Glcd_5x7
- Font_Glcd_Character8x7
For the sake of the backward compatibility, these fonts are supported also:
- System3x5 (equivalent to Font_Glcd_System3x5)
- FontSystem5x7_v2 (equivalent to Font_Glcd_System5x7)
- font5x7 (equivalent to Font_Glcd_5x7)
- Character8x7 (equivalent to Font_Glcd_Character8x7)
Returns Nothing.
Requires Glcd needs to be initialized, see Glcd_Init routine.
Example
‘ Use the custom 5x7 font “myfont” which starts with space (32):
Glcd_Set_Font(@myfont, 5, 7, 32)
Notes None.
