How can i print a word in the centre of my display? using the ST7735 library I use tft.setCursor(tft.width() / 2, 15, true); that prints any length word in the top centre of my display but the eSPI library starts the word in the centre

ive tried using the string align example but still cant figure it out

Use the function setTextDATUM() with MC_DATUM which means middle centre.

How do I print something Top Centre and 15px from top?

zuhairmst commented 2 years ago

tft.setTextDatum(TC_DATUM); tft.setCursor(width/2,15);

The print stream cannot be used with text formatting for technical reasons. Use drawString():

tft.setTextDatum(MC_DATUM);
tft.drawString("Hello", tft.width() / 2, 15);
