Cursor position
When displaying a message, the cursor position determines where the message starts. On power-up,
the cursor is positioned at row 1, column 1 (see the following figure). At this cursor position, a
user-defined message is displayed on the top row (row 1).
Top line text does not wrap to the bottom line of the display automatically. Any text that does not fit on
the current line is truncated. If the text is truncated, the cursor is left at the end of the line.
Figure 34: Row and column format for display messaging
The function to set cursor position has the following options:
display.setcursor(row, column)
display.setcursor(row, column, style)
Where:
1 to 20 (row 1)
1 to 32 (row 2)
When set to 0, the cursor is not visible. When set to 1, a display character blinks to indicate the
cursor position.
The display.getcursor() function returns the present cursor position. You can use it in
these ways:
row, column, style = display.getcursor()
row, column = display.getcursor()
row = display.getcursor()
