PxlText: Small Text?

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.

Can you print small text to the graph screen?

The PxlText command fills the role that the Text( command played in the TI-83/84 series. The thing is, PxlText uses the same large font as the one used on the Home screen. Instead, can PxlText use the smaller font found in the top/bottom bars, Dialog boxes, etc.? Thanks!

You can only do this with an assembly library like Flib.

I'd give you a link but "Guests and low-karma users are not allowed to publish links on this site."

Here's a link to Flib, which Logan had mentioned :)

Once you have that done, add this line of code to your program.

flib("font:0","drawstr:x,y,[mode],str")

I've never worked with Flib before, so if it doesn't work, ask Logan for help, as he may know it better :P
