u8g.setFontPosTop() doesn't #270

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?

Use setFontPosTop in a version of Hello World with font helvR08 to position top 
of text at top of screen i.e. y =0 .

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I'd expect the text to be written at the top of the screen .  The text is 
actually written above the top of the screen.  Investigation shows that 
PosBaseline is being used  and PosTop has no effect. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

v 1.15  Arduino linux

I2c 128x64 OLED display

thanks for reporting this.
Can you attach the code for this? Thanks.

It's slightly more complicated than I reported.  It depends on following lines. 
 When I add another font the original line changes position.

Hmmm... the attached example does not contain setFontPosTop().
Can you attach an example which actually demonstrates the problem?

ok, i have this:
void draw(void) {
  // graphic commands to redraw the complete screen should be placed here  
  u8g.setFontPosTop();
  u8g.setFont(u8g_font_helvR08);

  u8g.drawStr( 0, 0, "Hello World!");

  // Try with/ without below lines

  u8g.setFontPosTop();
  u8g.setFont(u8g_font_profont11);
  u8g.drawStr( 32, 25, "see yah!");
}

so the second drawStr is not working, right?

No, it's the first one.  If you comment out the 3 lines at the bottom then
"hello world" is printed at the top.  If you then add the last 2 or three
lines (the second PosTop has no effect) the "hello world" disappears off the
top and you're just left with the "see yah!" line.

What happening is the reference position is moving back from top to baseline.

ah, i see the problem. setFontPosTop must be used only after setting the font.

void draw(void) {
  // graphic commands to redraw the complete screen should be placed here  
  u8g.setFont(u8g_font_helvR08);
  u8g.setFontPosTop();

  u8g.drawStr( 0, 0, "Hello World!");

  // Try with/ without below lines

  u8g.setFont(u8g_font_profont11);
  u8g.setFontPosTop();
  u8g.drawStr( 32, 25, "see yah!");
}

Maybe i should be more clear in the documentation about this.

I thought I'd tried that but you're right.

You probably need to fix this then:

http://code.google.com/p/u8glib/wiki/tstring

as that's what I was following.

At least someone's reading your guide ;-)
