A tft addin for pbp3

[richard]

Any help or suggestions appreciated.

most of the addin's have user-commands. in the include file where the commands are declared there are comments on how to use them

eg in touch_tft

;work around fact that  usercommand won't accept a 1 chr string (thinks its a const)  so leading space is ignored  in button title
    USERCOMMAND "DRAWBUTTON"    ; BTN    { BUTTON NUMBER }
    USERCOMMAND "MAKEBUTTON"    ; X,Y ,BTN,{w},{h} ,"title" [(XY IS button centre)  BUTTON  number  ,   BUTTON size  WILL BE default_button_size IF SIZE OMITTED h=w if h omitted]
    USERCOMMAND "DRAWSLIDER"    ; SLIDER    { SLIDER NUMBER  }
    USERCOMMAND "MAKESLIDER"    ; X,Y {W,H},SLIDER   [(XY IS LHBottom CNR ) SLIDER number    size  WILL BE default  IF W,H OMITTED

x, y are cartesian coordinates for the screen position of the desired object , it goes without saying that x is horizontal axis [width] y vertical axis [height] when facing screen. both x and y need to be on the screen, objects can also have a width [w] and a height [h] and it follows that
x+w should still be on the screen as well as with y+h

if your objects don't fit on the screen then things won't play nice


start here
which of these fit on a screen 160x128 ?

MAKEBUTTON 53,170,0,92 ,40,"Clear" ;
MAKEBUTTON 276,220,1,56,30,"Sleep"
MAKEBUTTON 280,150,2,60,"Led"
MAKEBUTTON 242,52,3,40 ; no text SEE BELOW FOR Another way to attach text
MAKEBUTTON 140,150,4,50,30," +"
MAKEBUTTON 205,150,5,50,30," -"

answer none
and so on

I'm really interested in using Portrait mode too

in chipset driver file you will find this

     ;SCREEN ORIENTATION
    TFTDATA $18       ;bit3 controls rgb/bgr  0=bgr , 1 =rgb
                      ;bit2 controls  refresh direction  long  axis
                      ;bit4 controls  refresh direction   short  axis
                      ;bit5 controls portrait/landscape   1=portrait , 0 =landscape  / adjust height width to suit
                      ;bit6 controls  write direction short axis
                      ;bit7 controls  write direction long  axis

it needs to be setup to match your screen re-orientation and mirror imaging, its no big deal
you need to set height/width declares to match
