DRAWLINE My_x1, My_y1, My_x2, My_y2, 1

You need a macro like
DRAWLINE?BBBBC
the error message will tell you this does not exist

the existing drawline macros

;LINE 
DRAWLINE?WWWW  macro X0in ,Y0in ,X1in ,Y1in
    MOVE?WB    X0in ,_s_xstart

    MOVE?CB  Y0in ,_s_ystart
    MOVE?CB  Y1in ,_s_yend
    L?CALL   _dline 
  endm

you could add this

DRAWLINE?BBBBC  macro X0in ,Y0in ,X1in ,Y1in,Col
    MOVE?BB     X0in ,_s_xstart
    MOVE?BB     X1in ,_s_xend
    MOVE?BB     Y0in ,_s_ystart
    MOVE?BB     Y1in ,_s_yend
    MOVE?CB     Col  ,_colour
    L?CALL _dline 
    endm

or set the colour manually
eg colour=1

and use
DRAWLINE My_x1, My_y1, My_x2, My_y2
which already exists
DRAWLINE?BBBB
with a mono display you probably wont change the colour too often

a 5 input user command has the potential to need 5 raised to the 7th power of macros to cover every input permutation possible
a ridiculous number, i only ever create what seems useful to me. it's trivially easy to add any other combination you app calls for
and the compiler error virtually spells it out for you

Yeah, I did get that part from reading the links you provided - which makes it understandable (I guess) why you don't include that broad functionality.

Thanks for the example though. I now get it

Cheers,

Richard,
with the Nokia 5110 demo settings, the "width" constant is set at 88 instead of 84. Can you explain the reason for that? Like, with other displays, is it just a case of trial & error to gather this parameter or is available in documentation or from standard formula?

Thanks,

Troy

[richard]

needs to multiple of 8 for the rotation to work properly

[rocket_troy]

okay, that was simpler than I expected. Thx

[rocket_troy]

Richard,
would your drivers (with some tweaking of the input pins) be compatible with the jlx12864g-086 display? Someone online mentioned it would be a good substitute for the 5110 but they seem (to me) to be quite different interfaces?
