Numeric array variable that stores character information

・If there are not enough elements in the array, it is automatically added only to the 1D array.

Example

DIM WORK%[]
TSAVE 4,WORK%

TLOAD WritingScreenID,[X,Y,Width,Height,]TransferSourceArray

Copy character information from array to text screen

・Refer to TARRAY for the data structure in the array.

Argument

WritingScreenID

Text screen ID for writing character information: 0 to 4

X,Y,Width,Height

Start point X, Y coordinate, width, height of writing range

・If not specified, the entire text screen is specified.

ImageArray

Numeric array containing character information

Example

DIM WORK%[]
TLOAD 4,WORK%

TARRAY(ScreenID)

Get an Int array representing the contents of text screen

・Text screen characters, attributes, and colors can be directly read and written as an Int type 2D array.
・Use TUPDATE to reflect the written result.

Argument

ScreenID

ID of the target screen to get the array: 0 to 4

Return Value

Int type 2D array representing the contents of the target screen

・The array size is [ScreenHeight,ScreenWidthx2].
・One character is represented by two elements. The first element contains the display attribute in the upper 16 bits, the character code in the lower 16 bits, and the display color in the second element.

Example

T=TARRAY(0)
T[0,0]=&HE810
PRINT HEX$(T[0,0])

TUPDATE ScreenID [,StartPointX,StartPointY,EndPointX,EndPointY]

Reflect the contents written by TARRAY in the display

・Since normal text screen commands internally perform processing equivalent to TUPDATE, using TUPDATE after executing a character display command has no effect.
・Even if TUPDATE is not used, it is automatically reflected when writing with another character display command near the update coordinates.

Arguments

ScreenID

ID of screen to reflect: 0 to 4

StartPointX,StartPointY,EndPointX,EndPointY

Start and end coordinates of the rectangular area to be reflected

・If not specified, the entire screen is updated.

T=TARRAY(0)
T[0,0]=&HE811
T[0,1]=#C_RED
TUPDATE 0

TFUNC ScreenID,"@Label"
TFUNC ScreenID,"UserDefinedCommandName"

Assign a callback process for each text screen

・It's a command for advanced users who need callback processing.
・You can specify either the label you want to jump with GOSUB or the name of the DEF command you want to execute.
・Callback processing of all text screens is executed at once by CALL TEXT.
・At the callback destination, the management number can be acquired using the CALLIDX function.

Argument

ScreenID

Target text screen ID: 0 to 4

@Label

Label of the processing destination to be called

UserDefinedCommandName

The name of the user-defined command to be called

Example

TFUNC 0,"@PROG" 
TFUNC 1,"USERDEF"

TFUNC ScreenID

Clear callback processing assigned to text screen

Argument

ScreenID

Clear text screen ID: 0 to 4

Example

TFUNC 0

TCOORD ScreenID, ConvertSourceCoordinatesX,Y [,Mode] OUT ConvertResultCoordinatesX,Y

Convert display coordinates to text screen coordinates

Argument

ScreenID

ID of scrolling text screen: 0 to 4

CoordinateX,Y

Coordinate to check character code

・The meaning of coordinates changes depending on the value of the next mode.

Mode

Specify the coordinate conversion method: 0 to 2

0	Convert text screen coordinates (in dots) to display coordinates
1	Convert display coordinates to character coordinates on the text screen
2	Convert display coordinates to dot coordinates on the text screen

・0, if not specified.
・When using display coordinates, the effect of LMATRIX is not considered.

Return Value

ConvertResultCoordinatesX,Y

Coordinate value of conversion result

・The meaning of the coordinates returned depends on the mode value.

Example

TCOORD 1,10,10,0 OUT DX,DY
GPSET DX,DY,#C_WHITE

TCOORD 1,100,50,1 OUT CX,CY
LOCATE CX,CY:?"A" 

TCOORD 1,100,50,2 OUT SX,SY
