Template:LCD/doc

This template is used to illustrate various MegaDrum settings that a user can observe on the LCD screen. Here's how it works in a nutshell: you write the following code:

{{LCD|
color=black|
bgcolor=#00FF00|
line1=<MegaDrum.info >|
line2=(c)D.Skachkov{{nbsp|2}}{{LCD/arrows|black}}|
caption=MegaDrum copyright screen and contrast adjust
}}

And get this result:

<MegaDrum.info >

(c)D.Skachkov

MegaDrum copyright screen and contrast adjust

As you can see, there is 2 lines, 16 characters in each. This mimics the type of LCD currently used with MegaDrum.

The format of the template is self-explanatory. Any parameter can be omitted. Defaults are: black characters on green background. The default text is the copyright screen and default caption is "MegaDrum display". Observe the main template to see how it looks.

A note on text formatting: Please note that if a line contains more than a single whitespace character you will need to use the Nbsp template. For example, let's say you need 5 consecutive space characters in a string. You would write this as:

{{nbsp|5}}

Please consult the documentation for more information.

Also consider using &lt; for the "<" character and "&gt;" for the ">" character.

Here's another example. Note that I used a different color/bgcolor here. You can also use standard RGB color representations such as #00FF00.

{{LCD|
color=white|
bgcolor=blue|
line1=█_______________|
line2=________________|
caption=MegaDrum VU Meter screen
}}

Result:

█_______________

________________

MegaDrum VU Meter screen

Finally here is an example settings screen.

{{LCD|
color=white|
bgcolor=blue|
line1=<CustomCurve1{{nbsp|2}}>|
line2=P1:{{nbsp|11}}2{{LCD/arrows|white}}|
caption=Custom curve '''CustomCurve1''' point '''P1''' value
}}

Note that to insert a up/down arrow symbol a special template is used. Here's the syntax:

{{LCD/arrows|color}}

where color can be: black, blue, red, magenta, green, cyan, yellow and white. Please use the same color as you do for the LCD font.

The result is as follows:

<CustomCurve1  >

P1:           2

Custom curve CustomCurve1 point P1 value
