Details
This function switches the virtual front-panel display to the user screen (the text set by
display.settext()
), and then returns values to indicate the cursor's row and column position and
cursor style.
Columns are numbered from left to right on the display.
Example 1
testRow, testColumn = display.getcursor()
print(testRow, testColumn)
This example reads the cursor position into local
variables and prints them. Example output:
1.00 1.00
Example 2
print(display.getcursor())
This example prints the cursor position directly. In this example, the
cursor is in row 1 at column 3, with an invisible cursor:
1.00 3.00 0.00
