println alignment issue

[tbillion]

  tft.setCursor(15, 45);
  tft.setTextColor(TFT_CYAN , TFT_BLACK);
  tft.setTextSize(1);
  tft.println(debug_info);

i am confused why when i use this code the first line prints in the correct spot as if indented and the line that follows that begins on column zero is there a way to use the print line based on a custom column location?

i in the simple context of whats happening have no control over the blurb of text in the array, i guess if there is no way to do this i could take the long way around and make a helper function.

You could set a viewport at 15,45,w,h
SetViewPort(...

There is no built in capability to define the x coordinate for a "carraige return" so this will have to be managed in the sketch.

Frank's suggestion of using setViewPort(...) is an option that seems to fit in with your use case.
