==Template:LCD documentation==

This template is used to illustrate various MegaDrum settings that a user can observe on the LCD screen. Here's how it works in a nutshell: you write the following code:
<pre>
{{LCD|
color=black|
bgcolor=#00FF00|
line1=<MegaDrum.info ;>|
line2=(c)D.Skachkov&nbsp;&nbsp;♦|
caption=MegaDrum copyright screen and contrast adjust
}}
</pre>

Ang get this result:
{{LCD|
color=black|
bgcolor=#00FF00|
line1=<MegaDrum.info >|
line2=(c)D.Skachkov  ♦|
caption=MegaDrum copyright screen and contrast adjust
}}

The format of the template is self-explanatory. Any parameter can be omitted. Defaults are: black characters on green background. The default text is the copyright screen and default caption is "MegaDrum display". Observe the main template to see how it looks.

'''A note on text formatting: Please note that if a line contains more than a single whitespace character you will need to enter &nbsp; for each additional whitespace.'''

Also consider using &lt; for the "<" character and "&gt;" for the ">" character.

Here's another example. Note that I used a different color/bgcolor here. You can also use standard RGB color representations such as #00FF00.
<pre>
{{LCD|
color=white|
bgcolor=blue|
line1=█_______________|
line2=________________|
caption=MegaDrum VU Meter screen
}}
</pre>

Result:
{{LCD|
color=white|
bgcolor=blue|
line1=█_______________|
line2=________________|
caption=MegaDrum VU Meter screen
}}

Finally here is an example settings screen:
<pre>
{{LCD|
color=white|
bgcolor=blue|
line1=&lt;CustomCurve1&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt;|
line2=P1:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2♦|
caption=Custom curve '''CustomCurve1''' point '''P1''' value
}}
</pre>

The result is as follows:
{{LCD|
color=white|
bgcolor=blue|
line1=<CustomCurve1  >|
line2=P1:           2♦|
caption=Custom curve '''CustomCurve1''' point '''P1''' value
}}

I agree that entering those whitespace characters is quite tedious, but I can't think of any remedy at this time. Unless, of course, the LoopFunctions and probably also StringFunctions extensions are installed.

		+	To make an example of poor contrast of this screen, add one more parameter: contrast=poor-contrast. This makes the font barely visible. The full example is:
		+	<pre>
		+	{{LCD\|
		+	color=white\|
		+	bgcolor=blue\|
		+	contrast=poor-contrast\|
		+	line1=&lt;CustomCurve1{{nbsp\|2}}&gt;\|
		+	line2=P1:{{nbsp\|11}}2{{LCD/arrows\|white}}\|
		+	caption=Custom curve '''CustomCurve1''' point '''P1''' value
		+	}}
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	Here's how it will look like:
		+	{{LCD\|
		+	color=white\|
		+	bgcolor=blue\|
		+	contrast=poor-contrast\|
		+	line1=<CustomCurve1{{nbsp\|2}}>\|
		+	line2=P1:{{nbsp\|11}}2{{LCD/arrows\|white}}\|
		+	caption=Custom curve '''CustomCurve1''' point '''P1''' value
		+	}}

	}}		}}
		+
		+	You can also float the LCD screen to left/right using an additional float parameter. For example, here is the previous example right-aligned:
		+	<pre>
		+	{{LCD\|
		+	color=white\|
		+	float=right\|
		+	bgcolor=blue\|
		+	line1=&lt;CustomCurve1{{nbsp\|2}}&gt;\|
		+	line2=P1:{{nbsp\|11}}2{{LCD/arrows\|white}}\|
		+	caption=Custom curve '''CustomCurve1''' point '''P1''' value
		+	}}
		+	</pre>
		+
		+	{{LCD\|
		+	color=white\|
		+	float=right\|
		+	bgcolor=blue\|
		+	line1=<CustomCurve1{{nbsp\|2}}>\|
		+	line2=P1:{{nbsp\|11}}2{{LCD/arrows\|white}}\|
		+	caption=Custom curve '''CustomCurve1''' point '''P1''' value
		+	}}
		+	You should see the container to the right of this text.
