Smooth scrolling text Plugin?

[chameleon_789]

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to make a plugin that scrolls by moving one column of pixels at the time rather than one character. I don't have much understanding of LCD display programming, so please tell me if this is impossible

On a similar note, is it possible to have more than 8 custom chars by reprogramming the standard letters (ie. changing the \ character to a user defined one)? If not in LCD smartie, could it be programmed into a custom app, or are there hardware limitations?

EDIT: Ok, I just found out there is a 64 byte custom RAM, and the character mem is read only Sorry for the newb question.. although, I would like to know if there's still a way to move chars pixel by pixel? Assuming the character rom doesn't have to change, is there a sneaky way of doing this?

I think I understand what your saying and I dont think its possible. Why would you want to move one pixel column at a time instead of the whole character?

There are 5 pixel columns in each charcter, that is alot more moving than the whole character.

I would agree with _X7JAY7X_ about this.

There is no other known way to display into LCD screen except the custom character function... (and we have some limits here)

Since we have character displays and not graphical this req this is a good idea but not applicable.
