Grid Display

[Toley]

I don't know if it's already been asked but having the option to show a partial grid could be usefull. Also a button on the toolbar to show/hide the grid could be handy.

Hi,

What do you mean by partial grid ?

Hi filip,

I mean showing only let's say 1 line on 10 but still be able to lock elements on all the lines. I suggest this cause when the grid is displayed, we cannot see correctly the background and then it become harder to see if the color match.

Hi,

Please, can you clarify your question, because I didn't understand it correctly ?

OK I will try differently

Actually the grid in VTFT show all the lines. What I would like is to see only some of the lines but still be able to lock anywhere.

Another thing I noticed after this post is that the grid stay behind the objects. I would like it to stay in front of objects. The way I actually use VTFT is by drawing a 320 x 240 background image with an external editor and insert it in the back of my project. Then after I add transparent touch button (over my already drawn ones), text and all I need. But when I insert my picture, the grid dissapear, so it become useless for me. Now when I try to write some custom text onscreen, I have to first evaluate the position where I want it to appear, then try and try again until it is where I want it. I want to be clear I don't place text with the tool I write it inside my program with the TFT_Write_Text command so I need the exact X-Y position. I believe this is more clear now and you know what I need. The grid is one way but more I use VTFT I think my other suggestion of seeing the X-Y position on mouse over, would be even more usefull.

Thank you.
