stroke

Description

Called before drawing an object on screen, it sets the color of lines and borders around shapes.

stroke() 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.stroke(red, green, blue);

Parameters

Returns

none

Example

#include <SPI.h>
#include <TFT.h>            // Arduino LCD library #define cs   10
#define dc   9
#define rst  8 TFT screen = TFT(cs, dc, rst) ; void setup ( ) {
  // initialize the screen
  screen.begin ( ) ;   // make the background black
  screen.background ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) ;   // set the stroke color to white
  screen.stroke ( 255 , 255 , 255 ) ;   // draw a box with a white outline in the middle of the screen
  screen.rect (screen.width ( ) / 2 + 10 ,screen.height ( ) / 2 + 10 ,screen.width ( ) / 2 - 10 ,screen.height ( ) / 2 - 10 ) ;
} void loop ( ) { }
