UCV.print
UCV.pri
Print more text use vertical scrolling if needed
Intention
This command will print text in the actual foreground color. Use the "UCV.foreground" command to set the foreground color. "UCV.print" will use the font that you can set using the "UCV.set font" command.
General usage is simple:
' Make a completely green cover
UCV.bgr|&H00FF00
' Set red foreground color
UCV.fgr|&HFF0000
UCV.cov
' Print in red onto the green background
UCV.print|Hello world!
' Here comes your script, we use a PAUSE command instead
PAU.5
' Switch cover color to yellow
UCV.bgr|&HFFFF00
UCV.print|Hello world!
' This will remove the Cover
UCV.
ENR.
You can print a text on the cover, like this:
' Make a completely red cover
UCV.bgr|&HFF0000
UCV.cov
' Here comes your script, we use a PAUSE command instead
PAU.5
' Switch cover color to yellow
UCV.bgr|&HFFFF00
' Print on the cover screen
UCV.print|Hello world
' This will remove the Cover
UCV.
ENR.
As you can see, the "background" command will also influence the background of the color of the "print" command.
Any cover is been removed immediately, when the script-process ends or when the script runs into an error.
Print will automatically do a "word wrap". Print will place words that do not fit into the current line, automatically into the next line. Therefore avoid words that do not fit into a line, as these may not be printed at all. Use the "UCV.write" for such cases.
' This line will remove the cover
UCV.
