New page

The <c>TextDisplay</c> class in [[Mini Micro]] is a display type that represents a 68-column, 26-row text character display. Each row/column position in this display is called a "cell" and may display one character, with any foreground and background color (including transparent colors).

By default, [[display]] 3 is configured as a text display, and is in fact the main text display to which [[print]] prints, and to which the [[text]] global refers (unless you change it). But you can make any display layer a text display by setting its [[Display.mode|mode]] to <c>displayMode.text</c>.

There are two ways to put text into a text display: use the [[TextDisplay.print]] method, which applies the current values of [[TextDisplay.color]], etc.; or set individual cells with [[TextDisplay.setCell]], [[TextDisplay.setCellColor]], etc.
