Addition of text viewer in DM42

Post by ferni123 »

Dear all,

I will try to add a text viewer in DM42 for the visualisation of the text print files. As I am not an expert, I am looking for help.

I am reviewing the SDK documentation, I think that it will take me a while (and no guarantees yet that I will succeed). If there is anyone else interested and it is familiar with the SDK, please feel free to contribute to my repository branch "https://github.com/fmartinp/SM-DM42PGM/tree/text-viewer".

The use case that I would like to cover is the possibility to review the output print file using the calculator. The functionalities would be:
- Font setting as in the calc mode
- arrows to go up/down
- the operators /,x,+,- to control page up, page down, home, end
- number + enter to go to a specific line

Best regards,
Fernando
