Could you be a little more specific? Is this in PrgmIO, or the homescreen, or in a program, or in what?

If you use the Pause command (works on homescreen) it will allow you to scroll left and right before you have read it and hit enter.

If you want to use Disp, Output(), or Text() then you can put the string to display through a loop and devide it into showable lengths (homescreen: 16, graphscreen seems to be about 22 depending on what exact characters you are showing) using sub().

You do know that this is in the 68k calculator basic section? You can't do text in the homescreen from a program.

Same idea though, outputting stuff to the 89 family's I/O screen works on the same principles as outputting to an 8x's home screen.

No I didn't notice, I didn't even know we had a 68k basic section. And I never claimed you could do Text on the homescreen.

Sorry about that. I meant text, not [font="courier new"]Text.

Fundamentally, yes. It doesn't use the 83+'s font-grid thingye. It acts more like the [font="courier new"]Text command.

Back to the topic, could you please specify where the problem occurs?

I'm having the same problem. My cubic equation solver that I'm currently working on always has a result larger than the screen can show without scrolling. I use [font="Courier"]Disp to output to PrgmIO. Is there any other method that breaks the output at the edge of the screen or allows you to scroll (like on the home screen if you have a long answer)

You know how wide each letter is, so you can figure out when to break the text yourself, no?

Pause, I believe, will allow you to scoll.

How are you getting answer longer than the io screen? You can fit 26 charaters on it!

Thanks, pause does let you scroll.
And my program finds all possible answers to equations in the form of ax^3+bx^2+cx+d=0 for x

In that case, just do
Code:
seq(mid(str1,26*i-25,min(26,dim(str1)-26*(i-1))),i,1,ceiling(dim(str1)/26))
where str1 is the string you want to output. Replace 26 by some other number if you have a TI-92/92+/V200. The output will be a list of strings, just display each element one after the other and you should be fun.

Oh and see if you can't figure out how the above line of code works.

Even if you don't have the polynomial solver flash app, it's easy to duplicate the poly() command.

  1. What font?
  2. Who requested it?
  3. Why are you asking a dead thread?
Three good answers or this thread will be closed.

hold on weregoose, I have a suggestion as to why the text can't scroll.

For those of you who don't know, the 89(ti), 92+, and v200 all have the same sized VIRTUAL screen. That means the same amount of space is allocated to store which pixels are on/off. However on the 89(ti), only a section of that space is sent to the LCD, and is displayed correctly.

From experimenting with TIGCC, I've found that basic string drawing functions, that are typically almost entirely TI-OS ROM calls, do not cut off/scroll text until the amount of text takes up the entire v200-sized screen width. So text can be greater than an 89(ti) screen but still not trigger scrolling.

Can someone confirm this? I've found that using DrawStr() with a really long string will start overwriting the next pixel down from the left, if and only if that string width is greater than the v200 screen width.
