setCursor and printf to stay in column

[gert4git]

Hello All,

I have this code that sets the cursor and then prints some stuff.

#include <TFT_eSPI.h> 
...
tft.setCursor(2*CX+20, 0, 4);
tft.printf("%02d:%02d:%02d\n", hh, mm, ss);
tft.printf("%04d-%02d-%02d", yr, mo, dy);

I expected the second line to follow the column position of the first. I.e. all at the same indentation or x-offset. But it does not. The second line jumps back to column 0.

Is there code to print multiple lines at the same X indentation?

Cheers,
Gert

tft.setCursor(2*CX+20, 0, 4);
tft.printf("%02d:%02d:%02d", hh, mm, ss);
tft.setCursor(2*CX+20, 0 + tft.fontHeight(4), 4);
tft.printf("%04d-%02d-%02d", yr, mo, dy);

@Bodmer,

Thanks. That is a doable approach.

Cheers,
