Usage Notes
By default this method uses the same font seen in a TextDisplay, but you may get a larger or smaller font using the fontName parameter. The font characters have the following dimensions:
| Font Name | Character Height | Character Width | Kerning | Character Spacing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| "small" | 14 | 10 | 1 | 9 |
| "normal" | 24 | 16 | 2 | 14 |
| "large" | 32 | 24 | 4 | 20 |
To calculate the width of a string, multiply its len by the last column (Character Spacing) in the table above.
Example
gfx.print "Hello world!", 600, 400
gfx.print "Hello world!", 600, 350, color.aqua
gfx.print "Hello world!", 600, 300, color.aqua, "small"
gfx.print "Hello world!", 600, 250, color.aqua, "large"
