"#" doesn't display right with double-height display
Last modified: 2004-08-12 08:56:06 UTC
The pound sign displays like this: ## ## Four little pound signs instead of one big pound sign. It _really_ stands out because it is so bright. I want to use it in my display of track number, but it looks so funky I'm going to have to use a different format until it's fixed.
diff -r1.12 Display.pm 561c561 < "#" => [ '##', '##' ], --- > "#" => [ '_' . $Zbottom . $Zbottom, $Ztop . $Ztop . $toplinechar ],

It's basically fixed (thanks!), but it now looks kinda funky: // --- --- // How about something more like this (if it's possible): || ---- ---- ||
the display is only two lines, so what you have is: _LL -77 more or less. There is a limit to the number of custom chars, so while the top could be straightened, there may not be a char that works to fix the bottom.
Well if that's the best you can do, it's definitely better than before!
its not me. the fix that was done is already better than I had come up with. If you can think of a design that works in two lines, then there might be a solution. I was only pointing out the limits that is in place for this hardware. If you are satisfied with what is there, then feel free to mark this one closed.
