Glossary A B C DF G H I K LM N P R S T UVWXY CHARGER_STATE
Type Constant Return Value Integer Description The name of a read-only battery property that contains the state of the battery charger. Possible contents of this property are the booleans GUI_TRUE when the batteries are charging and GUI_FALSE when the batteries are not charging. Read_Battery must be called before reading this property to get the latest battery information. Usage Read_Battery(); // Get the latest battery information. Get_Property(GUI_BATTERY, CHARGER_STATE);

void Clear( uint object_reference )
Type Function Input Parameters object_reference A 16 bit number that refers to a textbox, plot, or screen object. Description A method that clears all data in the specified textbox, plot, or screen. If the object is a textbox, writes ASCII space to all positions in the textbox and sets the refresh flag to true so the textbox will be re-rendered the next time Refresh is called. If the object is a plot, sets each cell of the plot buffer to zero and sets the refresh flag to true. so the plot will be re-rendered the next time Refresh is called If the object is a screen, erases and unloads all objects in the screen. Refresh does not have to be called after clearing a screen. Errors include: INVALID_OBJECT. Usage Clear( GUI_SCREEN0 );
Library library.c
void Clear_Error ( void )
Type Function Description A method that sets the last reported error to NO_ERROR. Clear_Error should be called after Read_Error to prevent servicing the same error more than once. Usage Clear_Error();
Library library.c
void Copy_Screen ( uint source_screen, uint destination_screen )
Type Function Input Parameters source_screen_reference A 16 bit number that refers to the screen object you want to copy from. destination_screen_reference A 16 bit number that refers to the screen object you want to copy to. Description A method that copys the contents of the source screen into the destination screen, overwriting all of the previously loaded objects in the destination screen. The source and destination screens can be in display memory (GUI_SCREEN0 to GUI_SCREEN3) or in RAM in the heap. However, only screens in the display memory can be made visible (see the VISIBLE property of the display object). Posible errors include INVALID_SCREEN and HEAP_FULL. Usage screenIntro = New_Object ( SCREEN ); // Create a new screen in RAM. Load(screenIntro,graphicLogo,0,0); // Load an image into the screen. Copy_Screen(screenIntro,GUI_SCREEN0); // Copy screen into the display.
Library library.c
See Also VISIBLE CONTRAST
Type Constant Return Value Integer Description The name of a display property that sets the contrast of a monochrome display. Valid values are 0 to 31. Values less than 0 and greater than 31 saturate at 0 and 31 respectively and have no additional effect on the contrast. The initial value of the contrast after Initialize_GUI is called is 16. For larger contrast adjustments use the hardware potentiometer. Usage Set_Property(GUI_DISPLAY, CONTRAST, (ulong) 1);
Library library.c
CURRENT_SCREEN
Type Constant Return Value Integer Description The name of a read-only GUI Toolkit property that contains the current visible screen. The CURRENT_SCREEN property is set to GUI_SCREEN0 when Initialize_GUI is called. Usage Get_Property ( GUI_TOOLKIT, CURRENT_SCREEN );
Library library.c
