PrintMiniFix

Synopsis

This is a routine that displays a text in small (glyph) font on the screen.

Definition

int PrintMiniFix( int x, int y, const char*Msg, const int flags, const short color, const short bcolor ){
int i = 0, dx;
unsigned short width;
void*p;

   while ( Msg[ i ] ){
      p = GetMiniGlyphPtr( Msg[ i ], &width );
      dx = ( 12 - width ) / 2;
      if ( dx > 0 ) {
         PrintMiniGlyph( x, y, (void*)empty, flags, dx, 0, 0, 0, 0, color, bcolor, 0 );
      }else dx = 0;
      PrintMiniGlyph( x+dx, y, p, flags, width, 0, 0, 0, 0, color, bcolor, 0 );
      if ( width+dx < 12 ){
         PrintMiniGlyph( x+width+dx, y, (void*)empty, flags, 12-width-dx, 0, 0, 0, 0, color, bcolor, 0 );
      }
      x += 12;
      i++;
   }
   return x;
}
const short empty[18] = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };

Inputs

• int x: X-coordinate of top-left of text
• int y: Y-coordinate of top-left of text
• const char* Msg: string to display
• const int flags:

Symbol	Value
PMF_ALLOW_STATUSAREA	0x40
PMF_INVERT	4
PMF_DO_NOT_USE_BACKCOLOR	2
PMF_UPPER_X_LIMIT_IGNORED	0xFFFFFFFF

• const short color: Text foreground color
• const short bcolor: Text background color

Outputs

Small font string on-screen.

Comments

Flags come from an old version of disp_tools.hpp. No further information on them is known.

Usage Example

PrintMiniFix(0, 175,
         "Oh look a string at the bottom of the screen.",
         0, COLOR_WHITE, COLOR_BLACK);
