Shared Text

These experimental blocks print text on supported pixel displays.

They are mainly intended for:

  • ST7789 RGB TFT displays
  • SSD1306 OLED displays

Print text​

Print text or numbers at the current text cursor position.

Set text colour​

Choose the pixel colour used for text.

info

On monochrome displays such as the SSD1306, text colour acts as on or off rather than full RGB colour.

Set text cursor​

Move the text cursor to a new x, y position before printing.

Set font and scale​

Choose a font and text scale for later printed text.

warning

On SSD1306, printed text is buffered just like the shared graphics blocks. Use display buffer after drawing your text.
