Having problems understanding how to set menu values such as fontHeight, y offset, etc.

On the page here: http://www.espruino.com/graphical_menu it describes how to set the height of the font being used, the y offset and so on. However, I've not been able to make the changes to the default values take place. So where in the example menu on that page should they be inserted?

Also, am I right in assuming the y offset changes where the top of the menu will be on the screen?

Thanks in advance.

Hi - which Bangle are you trying this on? Bangle.js 2? And with E.showMenu?

I'm afraid that with the Bangle.js 2 menu especially those options probably aren't available (code at https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/blob/master/libs/js/banglejs/E_showMenu_Q3.js) since with the touch scrolling the Bangle.js 2 implementation has moved quite far from the standard graphical_menu library (you should still be able to use graphical_menu if you want to though).

The best source of info for E.showMenu is probably just http://www.espruino.com/Reference#l_E_showMenu

Yeah - it's the Bangle 2. Oh well! :) I'll see what the links say...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
