# Z-Offset
|
|
|
|
This LCD has a "Z-Offset" parameter, allowing to offset rows on
|
|
the screen however we wish. This is handy because it allows us
|
|
to scroll more efficiently. Instead of having to copy the LCD
|
|
ram around at each linefeed (or instead of having to maintain
|
|
an in-memory buffer), we can use this feature.
|
|
|
|
The Z-Offet goes upwards, with wrapping. For example, if we
|
|
have an 8 pixels high line at row 0 and if our offset is 8,
|
|
that line will go up 8 pixels, wrapping itself to the bottom of
|
|
the screen.
|
|
|
|
The principle is this: The active line is always the bottom
|
|
one. Therefore, when active row is 0, Z is FNT_HEIGHT+1, when
|
|
row is 1, Z is (FNT_HEIGHT+1)*2, When row is 8, Z is 0. (cont.)
