Is there a way to programmatically determine what Font is current? about ssd1306ascii

[greiman]

Not sure what you want. These functions return properties of the current font:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
uint8_t SSD1306Ascii::fontHeight() const {
  return m_font ? m_magFactor*readFontByte(m_font + FONT_HEIGHT) : 0;
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
uint8_t SSD1306Ascii::fontRows() const {
  return m_font ? m_magFactor*((readFontByte(m_font + FONT_HEIGHT) + 7)/8) : 0;
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
uint16_t SSD1306Ascii::fontSize() const {
  return (readFontByte(m_font) << 8) | readFontByte(m_font + 1);
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
uint8_t SSD1306Ascii::fontWidth() const {
  return m_font ? m_magFactor*readFontByte(m_font + FONT_WIDTH) : 0;
}

setCursor(x, y) is pretty much the standard way to set the cursor in a graphics library. It allows you to position to the finest address on the display.

 /**
   * @return The current font pointer.
   */
  const uint8_t* font() const {return m_font;}

Bill, Perfect ! The functions you show below is just what I was looking for. Sorry to bother you if it was in the examples or documentation. And again thank you for your library and continued support.

I think these functions are documented in the html here.

Click on SD1306Ascii.html. I will regenerate the html next time I update the library to make sure it matches the source.

Hi Bill, After you sent me the functions I read through the documentation again and found them. I hadn’t used then in a while and was going on my old code that used was kind of clumsy. Thank you so much for your follow up emails.
