Arguments

Parameter Name	Type	Default Value	Meaning
str	string	""	string to draw
x	number	0	horizontal position at which to start drawing
y	number	0	vertical position of bottom of string drawn
color	string	null	color to draw in (defaults to PixelDisplay.color)
fontName	string	"normal"	"small", "normal", or "large"

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	8
"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, 300, color.aqua, "small"
gfx.print "Hello world!", 600, 250, color.aqua, "large"
