Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Layout of a screen displaying a lot of text information

Hello, I need to design a 2.8 inch 240 x 320 LCD screen to display a lot of text information but I am having problems with the alignment to display it fully. I tried drawing the layout on paper but it was difficult to apply and also tried to apply the actual alignment (font, text layout) but it did not work. Is there any tips or software to support effective screen display layout? Thanks. |

Buttons or tabs on top/bottom to load different screens. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

How many lines do you want to display, maybe give us a drawing on paper. By changing the font size you can get an awful lot on a 2.8" screen. "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all" |

As Glenn says, don't attempt to display it all at once. Use a touch screen or hardware buttons to select pages or "page" up/down. You can get a lot of text on but it soon gets too small to read comfortably as tiny fonts are less detailed.
