Hey here is a code for a simple x,y display. I was wondering how would I be able to make the 4 quadrants on the screen be different colors?

Hello,

The LCD_DISCO_F429ZI.h contains methods for

  • set color - void SetTextColor(uint32_t Color); and colors are defined here line 116+
  • cread filed rectangle - FillRect(uint16_t Xpos, uint16_t Ypos, uint16_t Width, uint16_t Height);

For inspiration you can use DISCO-F429ZI_LCD_demo and build something like this (I can not verified it because I do not have this hardware. )

      lcd.SetTextColor(LCD_COLOR_BLUE);
      lcd.FillRect(0, 0, lcd1.GetXSize()/2, lcd1.GetYSize()/2);
      wait(0.1);
      lcd.SetTextColor(LCD_COLOR_RED);
      lcd.FillRect(lcd1.GetXSize()/2, 0,  lcd1.GetXSize()/2, lcd1.GetYSize()/2);
      wait(0.1);
      lcd.SetTextColor(LCD_COLOR_GREEN);
      lcd.FillRect(0, lcd1.GetYSize()/2,  lcd1.GetXSize()/2, lcd1.GetYSize()/2);
      wait(0.1);
      lcd.SetTextColor(LCD_COLOR_YELLOW );
      lcd.FillRect(lcd1.GetXSize()/2, lcd1.GetYSize()/2,  lcd1.GetXSize()/2, lcd1.GetYSize()/2);
      wait(0.1);
