Another weekend, time for a fun CHDK project. This time I want to add a nice manual mode GUI to my SD1200, just like the expensive SX50 has. First problem, trying to layout text. I can't do this without knowing what font is being used, and having some idea of the height of the characters.
draw.add("text"...)
uses pixel coordinates, while
set_console_layout(...)
is in terms of characters, so there's two different coordinate systems and no way to convert between them,
or to set a specific font or even tell which one is being used, so
The simplest addition, in terms of feature request I can see, it just making the "currect location" available,
in pixels, whcih is updated after a print. Even better would be a way to get the size of a string in pixels
before it's displayed. Then I could really layout text.
