4.3 String
EA eDIPTFT43-A compiler help
STRING: nr "text..."
STRING: nr[page]"text..."
The statement STRING defines and stores internal strings nr (1..255).
The internal strings can be used with any command that uses strings
e.g (#ZL,#ZC,#ZR,#ZB 36 , #AT,#AK,#AU,#AJ 43 ,
#BX 39 ,#IX 40 ,#VE 48 )
After the stringcode, defined with #ST n1 50 , internal strings are used.
Optionally different strings can be stored for different pages [0..15]. If
no page is selected it is set to 0. The 16 pages are helpful to realize
e.g. strings in different languages.
Example 1:
StringCode = $01
STRING: 1, "Hello World"
MACRO: MnPowerOn
#ST StringCode
#ZL 10,5, StringCode, 1
Example 2:
StringCode = $01
STRING: 1, "Hello World "
STRING: 1[1], "Hallo Welt "
STRING: 1[2], "Ciao a tutti "
MACRO: MnPowerOn
#ST StringCode
#MK 0
#ZL 10,10, StringCode, 1
#MK 1
#ZL 10,30, StringCode, 1
#MK 2
#ZL 10,50, StringCode, 1
You can use the Compiler Functions 6 STRING_W, STRING_H and
STRING_P to get the outline in pixels of the string.
