GLCD Line Erase

[MattH]

It would be nice to have a GLCD_Line_Erase(x,y) function available.
Because you're using the DOT function anyway and providing a GLCD_Clear_Dot function, this should be a piece of cake to do.

Added:

Code: Select all

void GLCD_SET_DOT(x,y,color) {
	GLCD_data;
	GLCD_Goto_XY(x, y-y%8);			/* calculate page position*/
	data = GLCD_Read_Data();
	if(color == BLACK) {                    /* check color */
		data |= 0x01 << (y%8);          /* prepare for print dot */
	} else {
		data &= ~(0x01 << (y%8));       /* prepare for clear dot */
	}
	GLCD_Write_Data(data);                  /* write data to GLCD
}

This would be even better.

The GLCD library shipped with mikroC is a completely new one. It is optimized, fast and has the option of choosing the color of your drawings (0 clear, 1 set, 2 invert). Therefore, you can use glcd_line routine to clear your line if you pass it with the parameter 0.

The new library will be included with mikroPascal/mikroBasic new release which is coming in a couple of days.

Fantastic... Thanks

Several people have expressed interest in T6963c. Several of us also have pieces of T6963C routines. Between the currently supported KS0107/08 and T6963c, you would be able to support about 80% of the controller-equipped GLCDs available (if you added the Epson SED series you hould have 95%). Is T6963C support in the near-term plans, or should we try to coordinate a project?

...or should we try to coordinate a project?

I would encourage you to do so, since we are busy with compiler making. It is important that you have all means to do so. Of course, at the moment when troubles appear I expect you to tell us.
