Cursor Imprimir

print

print displays text on the Brain’s screen at the current cursor position and font.

Usage:
brain.screen.print(text, precision, opaque)

Parámetros	Descripción
text	El texto, número o valor de variable que se mostrará en la pantalla.
precision	Optional. The number of decimal places to display when displaying numbers. This must be written as a keyword argument, ie:precision=3. Default is 2.
opaque	Optional. opaque=True — The background of the text will be filled with the current fill color or black by default. opaque=False (default) — The background of the text will match the screen’s background color.

# Display a message at the starting 
# cursor position
brain.screen.print("Hello, Robot!")

# Display a percentage with 4 decimal 
# places and a blue background
brain.screen.set_fill_color(Color.BLUE)
brain.screen.print((42/100), precision = 4, opaque = True)

set_cursor

set_cursor sets the cursor at a specific row and column on the Brain’s screen. How many rows and columns can comfortably fit depends on the selected font.

Monospaced fonts have characters that are all the same width, making text placement consistent. In contrast, proportional fonts vary in character width, so some letters take up more space than others. However, regardless of which type is used, set_cursor positions the cursor based on row and column size, not font style. The font size can be adjusted using set_font.

Usage:
brain.screen.set_cursor(row, column)

Parámetros	Descripción
row	La fila del cursor.
column	La columna del cursor.

# Repeatedly print the Brain's timer at 
# the top left of the screen
while True:

    brain.screen.next_row()
    wait(1, SECONDS)
    brain.screen.clear_screen()
    brain.screen.set_cursor(1, 1)

next_row

next_row moves the cursor to column 1 on the next row on the Brain’s screen.

Parámetros	Descripción
	Este método no tiene parámetros.
