ti/screen.h
#include <ti/screen.h>
Programs that don’t need fancy graphics can use TI’s screen routines instead of <graphx.h>.
If you want to print text to the homescreen and have it support automatic scrolling,
then cursor locations are based on a character grid.
Most of the text routines work this way.
In particular, os_GetStringInput and os_PutStr* work this way.
However, you can also draw text to arbitrary pixel locations using either the large or small font.
Those routines have Font in their name and also let you use color.
