How to clear a text before a new text is placed in some spot

Hi
i am using a Mega2560 R3 i have got a sketch that used an lcd but i have got a TFT Display
am trying to get the sketch to show 4 different text outputs but all in the same place on the screen, ihave got the sketch to work with case statments and it works but the text are all mixed on top of each other,
heres the code:

#include <Wire.h>
#include <EEPROM.h>
#include <TFT_HX8357.h> // Hardware-specific library
TFT_HX8357 tft = TFT_HX8357(); // Invoke custom library
#include "z_Free_Fonts.h" // Include the header file attached to this sketch
#define TFT_GREY1 0x8410 // New colour // HERE WE CORRECT THE GRAY COLOR !!!!! 11 0x8410 - GREEN LABEL 0x39E7 - YELLOW LABEL

const int audioSwitchPin = A11; // set up a constant for the Audio Filter switch
int audioSwitchState = 0; // variable to hold the value of the switchPin
int prevaudioSwitchState = 0; // variable to hold previous value of the switchpin
int buttonPushCounter = 0; // counter for the number of button presses //audiobuttonPushCounter

void setup() { // put your setup code here, to run once:
//Wire.begin();
pinMode(audioSwitchPin,INPUT_PULLUP); // set up the switch pin as an input
digitalWrite(audioSwitchPin, HIGH); // turn on pullup resistor
// display.clearDisplay();
//********* Setup Filter Outputs ************
pinMode(A12, OUTPUT); //Initiates off pin
pinMode(A13, OUTPUT); //Initiates 1.5Khz pin

Please follow the advice given in the link below when posting code, in particular the section entitled 'Posting code and common code problems'

Use code tags (the </> icon above the compose window) to make it easier to read and copy for examination

Ideas for you to try

1 - print the text that you want to remove but do it in the background colour
or
2 - print spaces over the text that you want to get rid off but do it in the background colour

Once the previous text has gone, print the new text

Hi like this i think lol :wink:

there is more....

this is from a seconed tab.

[code]
// Attach this header file to your sketch to use the GFX Free Fonts. You can write
// sketches without it, but it makes referencing them easier.

// This calls up ALL the fonts but they only get loaded if you actually
// use them in your sketch.
//
// No changes are needed to this header file unless new fonts are added to the
// HX8357 library "Fonts/GFXFF" folder.
//
// To save a lot of typing long names, each font can easily be referenced in the
// sketch in three ways, either with:
//
//    1. Font file name with the & in front such as &FreeSansBoldOblique24pt7b
//       an example being:
//
//       tft.setFreeFont(&FreeSansBoldOblique24pt7b);
//
//    2. FF# where # is a number determined by looking at the list below
//       an example being:
//
//       tft.setFreeFont(FF32);
//
//    3. An abbreviation of the file name. Look at the list below to see
//       the abbreviations used, for example:
//
//       tft.setFreeFont(FSSBO24)
//
//       Where the letters mean:
//       F = Free font
//       M = Mono
//      SS = Sans Serif (double S to distinguish is form serif fonts)
//       S = Serif
//       B = Bold
//       O = Oblique (letter O not zero)
//       I = Italic
//       # =  point size, either 9, 12, 18 or 24
//
//  Setting the font to NULL will select the GLCD font:
//
//      tft.setFreeFont(NULL); // Set font to GLCD

// Use these when printing or drawing text in GLCD and high rendering speed fonts

#1 typically works well, #2 can have problems if the font is not fixed-pitch because space may be narrower than some characters. You can also draw a solid-color box in the background color that covers the area needed for the largest text - usually slower than method #1, but does not require knowing what the previous text was.

Hi
Well it seems to work but the text is strobing
this is what i have changed so far

Thanks for ya help for now
Howard

You are displaying the text then immediately overwriting it. Leave the text on the display, overwrite it immediately before displaying the new text.

Hi like at the top of the following case insted of at the end ???

Right before the tft.println is the best place. You will probably still have a slight flicker, have you tried just printing spaces, that is a bit faster than fillrect.

how do you fill spaces lol

Just realised spaces will not work, if the old characters are showing through, then a space will not cover anything. Only other option is to keep track of whatever was previously printed and reprint that in the background color.

Good night all
had enough going to bed ...prob wont get any sleep :sleeping: :cold_sweat:

Hi all
Well after a short break am back to trying to sort this problem out.
Here is the new code that i have been trying, the attanSwitch
part has not been tested yet, will deal with that later.
i also have a short video of the display showing the pulsing\flickering
if i can work out how to send it lol.
Thanks for looking
Howard

Two problems I see.

First, you are updating the display every time through loop, repeatedly erasing the text and rewriting it when it has not changed.

Second, erasing and redrawing the box around the text is a slow process.

I'm not sure what color you want the text or background, but you can try this code and see if it works properly. You really do not need the case statement for the text but I've left it close to how you had it written.

#include <Wire.h>
#include <EEPROM.h>

//#define TFT_GREY1 0x8410         // New colour  // HERE WE CORRECT THE GRAY COLOR !!!!! 11 0x8410 - GREEN LABEL 0x39E7 - YELLOW LABEL

int audioSwitch = A11;             // set up a constant for the Audio Filter switch
int audioSwitchState = 0;          // variable to hold the value of the switchPin
int prevaudioSwitchState = 0;      // variable to hold previous value of the switchpin
int audioSwitchCounter = 0;        // counter for the number of button presses //audiobuttonPushCounter
int prevAudioSwitchCounter = -1;   // dummy value so that text displays the first time

const char audio_text[][7] = {
  " OFF",
  "1.5Khz",
  "2.0Khz",
  "2.5Khz",
};
int prev_text;

//int attanSwitch = ;             // set up a constant for the Audio Filter switch

Hi David
Well it do work great thank you for ya help
You say that there is a way to do a better case statement for the text
Could you please explane to me ?
Thanks again
Howard
