setCursor function suggestion - setCursorX(x) and setCursorY(y) #439

Open PeakeElectronicInnovation opened 1 year ago

Just a quick suggestion, could we add setCursorX(uint16_t x) and setCursorY(uint16_t y) to Adafruit_GFX.h?

Often I find myself having to get the cursor X or Y position when populating a screen with text, which looks a bit like:

uint16_t RH_text_x_pos = 55; tft.print("Some text"); tft.setCursor(RH_text_x_pos , tft.getCursorY()); tft.println("RH text at a consistant X co-ord");

if we had the following added to Adafruit_GFX.h then it would clean up the main code a bit... Just a suggestion of course :-)

Line 126

/**/ /! @brief Set text cursor location @param x X coordinate in pixels @param y Y coordinate in pixels / /**/ void setCursor(int16_t x, int16_t y) { cursor_x = x; cursor_y = y; }

// Custom cursor functions... void setCursorX(int16_t x) { cursor_x = x; }

void setCursorY(int16_t y) { cursor_y = y; }
