Serial API: How to constrain a string to a clip rect?

[Dave Chambers]

On a u70LCD-DT (800x480) I do the following:
Display.gfx_MoveTo(750, 100); // near the RH edge of the screen
Display.putstr("This string is wider than 50px");
and it causes the string to draw to the edge of the screen then wrap to a 2nd line which also begins at x=750

What I want to do is have the string NOT wrap but instead have the portion >800px be not shown.

I'm finding that when I do this:
Display.gfx_Clipping(1);
Display.gfx_ClipWindow(750, 100, 799, 120);
Display.gfx_MoveTo(750, 100);
Display.putstr("This string would wrap without clipping");
that NONE of the text is displayed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
-Dave

Hi Dave

Using this command txt_Set(TEXT_WRAP, n); were 0 is off or n = the pixel position where text wrap will occur at RHS.

I hope this helps
