setTextSize
Description
Sets the size of text that follows. The default size is "1". Each change in size increases the text by 10 pixels in height. That is, size 1 = 10 pixels, size 2 =20 pixels, and so on.
Syntax
screen.setTextSize(size);
Parameters
- size : int 1-5
Returns
none
Example
#include <SPI.h>
#include <TFT.h> // Arduino TFT library
#define cs 10
#define dc 9
#define rst 8
TFT screen = TFT(cs, dc, rst);
void setup() {
// initialize the screen
screen.begin();
// make the background black
screen.background(0,0,0);
// set the stroke color to white
screen.fill(255,255,255);
// default text size
screen.setTextSize(1);
// write text to the screen in the top left corner
screen.text("Testing!", 0, 0);
// increase text size
screen.setTextSize(5);
// write text to the screen below
screen.text("BIG!", 0, 10);
}
void loop() {
}
