Screen Coordinates

The display screen is divided into 4 lines, each line contains a maximum of 30 standard
1-byte characters or 15 2-byte code characters. The coordinates is as follow:
1
30
1 W I N C O R N I X D O R F
2 B E E T L E S Y S T E M

P

For example, the coordinate of 'T' from "BEETLE" in above sample is (2;6), i.e. sixth
position of line 2.
For 2-byte code characters or enlarged characters, they occupy 2 to 8 standard
characters space. The coordinate of such character is always refer to the upper-left
hand corner of the character. So, the coordinate of the large 'P' in above sample is
(3;7), and the coordinates of those three 2-byte characters are (3;11), (3;19) and (3;25)
respectively.

Pixel coordinate method is used only if the country code is set to Thai 4-levels. Like the
previous method, the coordinate of a character refers to the upper-left corner of the
character. This coordinate is vital to display characters to the desired location. Instead
of 30 x 4 screen coordinates, there are 240 x 64 possible pixel coordinates.
