SZ_Show_Text - graphics alternative to terminal screen - sasa - 10-19-2018 10:45 AM
This is interactive graphics alternative to HP Prime terminal screen in order to show any text content on multiple pages from a program, with line breaking capability, coloring and different font sizes support.
Usage:
- Cursors to change pages
- Functional on screen menu
Esc : Exit from the view
Calling convention:
SZ_Show_Text(text, font, color_fg, color_bg)
- The text contains array of strings/lines.
- The size of the individual string can be much larger than screen width, in which case is wrapped automatically
- If the line contain only '.NP' it would force next page break. The font is HP Prime font value (0-7)
Example:
SZ_Show_Text({"Content1...", "Content2..."}, 2, #FF0000h, #000000h)};
Any comment, suggestion and bug report is appreciated.
EDIT 2018-10-23: New version v1.1. I have reported that latest Virtual Calculator (non-beta) require suffix 'h' for base defined numbers during call from Home/CAS and inside code, in order to avoid syntax error. Thanks.

I can't understand this app.
Maybe you, the author, can clarify the circumstances where the command can be used.
I cannot use this
SZ_Show_Text({"Hello World"}, 4, #00FF00h, #000000h);
I get:
Error: Invalid Input.
Then I adapt the DEMO program:
Code:
export SZ_Show_Text_DEMO()
begin
local i,t;
i:=4;
t := {
"SZ_Show_Text by Sasa, 2018-10-17",
"",
"Interactive graphics alternative to" +
" HP Prime terminal screen" +
" in order to show any text" +
" content on multiple pages from a" +
" program, with line breaking capability,"+
" coloring and different font sizes"+
" support.",
""
};
SZ_Show_Text(t, i, #00FF00h, #000000h);
end;
#casand it did not work.
Changing the value of variable i to 6, or in alternative changing the text length and only then it works.
Apparently one must seek a way to have long enough text to extend beyond one page, at a given font size for the command to work.
This way it severely caps the function usefullness.
