2: Using the Propeller Tool
The Vertical Resistor character (near the lower right of the display) is selected in this
example. The information at the bottom of the window shows the font size, in points, and the
character’s location in the character set in decimal, hexadecimal, and Unicode. Note: The
®
Unicode value is the address of the character in the True Type
Font file that is used by the
Propeller Tool.
The decimal and hexadecimal values are the logical addresses of the
character in the character set within the Propeller chip and correspond to that location in the
ANSI character set used by most computers.
ROM Bitmap
The ROM Bitmap, Figure 2-14, shows the characters in a way representative of how they are
stored in the Propeller chip’s ROM. This view uses four colors, white, light gray, dark gray,
and black, to represent the bit pattern of each font character. Each character, in the Propeller
chip’s ROM, is defined with two bits of color (four colors per row in each character cell). The
rows of each pair of adjacent characters are overlapped in memory for the purpose of creating
the run-time characters used to draw 3D buttons with hot key and focus indicators; see
Character Definitions on page 32. The information at the bottom of the window shows the
font size, in points, and the selected character’s pixel data address range in the Propeller
chip’s ROM.
