We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope. |

The Output command is the most basic command for displaying text. It can display any type of expression on the Program I/O screen in the large font, using "Pretty Print" if it is enabled. It uses (row, column) pixel coordinates to determine the top left corner from which it displays the expression. By far the most common use of Output is for displaying strings.
:Output 20,20,"Hello, world"Advanced Uses
Both the row and the column coordinates for displaying text can be arbitrary integers — they can be negative, and they can go off-screen. The portion of the text that fits on the screen (if any) is drawn, and the rest is omitted: there is no wrapping of any kind.
