Here's another question regarding the Text( function. I want to be able to print the directions on the whole graph page, but the text just scrolls in one long line. Is there anyway to use the small font and have it fill one page like word wrapping itself without having to use multiple Text( lines.
An example of this is the Help page in Puzzle Pack. |

Puzzle Pack is an ASM program, so it can do just about anything they'de want. With BASIC, you have to truncate (I think that's the right word) the text yourself.
You could story what you want in a string, and create routine to print it out though, but I don't think that would be very fast or small... |

the routine would be like:
Text(0,0,sub(Str1,1,length(Str1)(length(Str1)<24)+23(length(Str1)>23)
If length(Str1)>23
Text(6,0,sub(Str1,24,length(Str1)(length(Str1)<47)+23(length(Str1)>46)
If length(Str1)>46
Text(12,0,sub(Str1,69,length(Str1)(length(Str1)<70)+23(length(Str1)>69)
etc.
my numbers might be off by one or two, but that is the general idea. |

| The small font is of a variable width. So there is no one number of letters that could fit on one line. |

Sub String allows you to extract any part of a string and analyze it.
Heres the format.
Sub({String VAR},{START},{LENGTH})
so if Str1 = "HELLO"
and I want to extract "LLO"
then I do this:
Sub(Str1,3,3
Hope that helps ya.  |

23*4=92
Leaves you with 3 pixels in basic and 4 in asm, in which case you could display an additional character. |

| Why do you get an extra pixel in asm? Where does it go? |

You can't use that last pixel in basic. Well, at least I can't.
Screen: 96*64
Useable in TIBasic: 95*63

yeah, we asm programmers can use the last colum (the one the run indicator is on) and the bottom most row (usually just blank)  |

| Has anyone tried making an ASAP that sets the FullScrnDraw flag and using it successfully in a BASIC program. I would, but I don't see the use an extra column will give you if the run indicator will just destroy it anyway. |

The Omnicalc sprite( function allows you to access the extra row and column of the screen. I think you can even turn the run indicator off by placing a sprite on it.
Is there any way to get a sublist of a list? |
