Write Text

\i D T string::text_string

Parameter	Type	Range	Description
text_string	string	ASCII chars (0x01 .. 0xFF)	text to be output

Writes a text_string to the current cursor position.

To terminate a string, a NULL character (\0) has to be placed.
Characters not defined in the character table of a font are replaced with a space.
While writing text, the cursor position is constantly updated to the end of the last character.
If the cursor position exceeds the right or bottom margin during text output and the corresponding wrap mode is not set, the following characters are ignored (refer to Set Wrap Mode). The cursor will then remain at the end of the last complete character.
To get the horizontal and vertical space occupied by the outputted text use the Get Text Extent command.
The text can contain any ANSI sequence (see ANSI Support) to e.g. control the cursor position (on a character or graphic based position) when the ANSI mode is on.

Response:

[ACK]

Example

\iDTHello World!\0

Writes "Hello World!" to the screen at the current cursor position and with the currently selected font and attributes.
