display.settext()), and then returns values to indicate the cursor's row and column position and
cursor style.
Columns are numbered from left to right on the display.
Example 1
testRow, testColumn = display.getcursor()
print(testRow, testColumn)
This example reads the cursor position into
local variables and prints them. Example
output:
1.00000e+00 1.00000e+00
Example 2
print(display.getcursor())
This example prints the cursor position
directly. In this example, the cursor is in
row 1 at column 3, with an invisible cursor:
1.00000e+00 3.00000e+00
0.00000e+00
