TFT Library
fill
Description
Called before drawing an object on screen, it sets the fill color of shapes and text.
fill() expects 8-bit values for each of the red, green, and blue channels, but the screen does not display with this fidelity. The red and blue values are scaled to 5-bit color (32 discrete steps), and the green is 6-bit color (64 discrete steps).
Syntax
screen.fill(red, green, blue);
Parameters
- red : int 0-255
- green : int 0-255
- blue : int 0-255
Returns
none
Example
#include <SPI.h>
#include <TFT.h> ⁄ ⁄ Arduino TFT library
#define cs 10
#define dc 9
#define rst 8
TFT screen = TFT(cs, dc, rst)
