Formatting Text
I've used the lcd and jit.lcd objects to display formatted text in the past. Since both of those objects are now deprecated, it is my understanding that we should use a combination of jit.mgraphics and jit.pwindow instead, but I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to format text with that combination. Is it possible? I can write the text, and I'm able to color and position the text, but I don't seem to be able to change font, font style, or font size. Am I missing something? Is there a better object for displaying formatted text? Even though they are deprecated, are lcd and jit.lcd still included in the distribution? Thanks!
there is jit.gl.text, which allows to read and interpret multiline text.
but lcd is the future, and it is a bright future, so keep using it. :)
Thanks, Roman. jit.gl.text seems to be more about 3d manipulation of the text and is way more complex than what I need. As long as I can keep using lcd, I will. Just curious if there is any advantage to jit.lcd over plain ol' lcd. Other than having to leave a qmetro running with jit.lcd, there doesn't seem to be much difference for use with static text. I'm guessing lcd is a bit lighter on the cpu since it doesn't need a constant clock.
