Lesson 3: The Output( command
by Anthony Bush
The 'Output(' command is like the 'Disp' command except you get to enter the row and column the you wish the text to start. This command can be found under [PRGM]:I/O:6. The 'Output(' command displays at (y,x) so if you wanted to display something down 4 on the screen and over 2 then the command would look like:
:ClrHome
:Output(4,2,"HELLO WORLD")
This would give you:


 HELLO WORLD
You can also replace the text with an equation like with the Disp command. An example of this would be:
:ClrHome
:Output(4,2,1+2)
When you run it you would see:

Notice that when a program finishes with an 'Output(' command "Done." is not displayed on the screen. I have no reason for this, it's just they way TI decided to make it. Well that should just about cover it for the 'Output(' command.
Summary:
In lesson 3 you should have learned how to use the 'Output(' command to display data anywhere on the screen.
