Other way to clear text with GLCD_write_text_Adv?

[gluipy]

Hi All,

I'm experimenting with Fontcreator and GLCD
Works fine, but when i updating text on the GLCD, the whole display is updating en flickering when i use the Glcd_Fill(0x00) command.
Now i have an other method by inverting the changing text position before writing a new one.
Because i use a created font, i understand that i have to use the Glcd_Set_Font_Adv and Glcd_Write_Text_Adv command.

This is my code:

Code: Select all

  

main:
  anselh = 0x00                                      ' turn off analog inputs
  ansel  = 0x00
  Glcd_Init()                                        ' Initialize Glcd
  Glcd_Fill(0x00)                                    ' Clear Glcd
  Glcd_Set_Font_Adv(@Arial_Bolt_11, 1, 0)            ' Change font
  Glcd_Write_Text_Adv("MOTOR UP:", 0, 0)            'unchangeable text

  while TRUE

    ByteToStr(TEST, TEST_Conv)                       ' Convert variable for displaying
    Glcd_Write_Text_Adv(Test_Conv, 95, 0)            ' Write value on  x and y position
    Inc (TEST)                                       ' increment value by 1
    Delay_ms(700)                                    ' pause
    
    'Inverting text to clear
    Glcd_Set_Font_Adv(@Arial_Bolt_11, 0, 0)          ' Invert screen on position
    Glcd_Write_Text_Adv(Test_Conv, 95, 0)            ' Write inverted tekst (empty)
    Glcd_Set_Font_Adv(@Arial_Bolt_11, 1, 0)          ' Set to normal mode

  wend
end.

My Question:

Has some one a nice or shorter method to do this?

Christian

Hi Christian,

This is quite short example which you make.

I can also suggest you to try with a square field on desired part of the screen instead of writing inverted text again.
That will probably make your code to work faster.

Best regards,
