<p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{LuaApi|group=LCD}}<br />
Adds a text element to an LCD page.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
LCDCreateStaticText(pageName, textName, textSize, alignment, width, numLines)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Arguments ==<br />
;pageName : <code>string</code> – Name of the page.<br />
;textName : <code>string</code> – Name of the new element.<br />
;textSize : <code>number</code> – Text size, <code>0</code>, <code>1</code> or <code>2</code>. Each line of the element is 12, 13 or 20 pixels high for these values.<br />
;alignment : <code>string</code> – <code>"left"</code>, <code>"center"</code> or <code>"right"</code>. The client compares it ignoring case.<br />
;width : <code>number</code> – Width of the element in pixels.<br />
;numLines : <code>number</code> – Number of text lines the element has room for.<br />
<br />
== Returns ==<br />
Nothing.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
* The element uses the font "Microsoft Sans Serif". Set its text with [[API:LCDStaticTextSetText|LCDStaticTextSetText]].<br />
* The element's height is <code>numLines</code> times the line height of <code>textSize</code>. For any other <code>textSize</code> the height is 13 pixels, whatever <code>numLines</code> is.<br />
* With more than one line the element is set up for multi-line text.<br />
* If the page already has an element with this name, nothing is created.<br />
* If the page does not exist, the error below is logged and nothing is created.<br />
* The function needs at least six arguments and only reads the last six.<br />
<br />
== Errors ==<br />
* <code>Error in function call 'LCDCreateStaticText': Page '%s' does not exist.</code><br />
<br />

LCDSetLocation( EA_LCDKeyboard.Page1, "HPTitle", 0, 0 )<br />
LCDStaticTextSetText( EA_LCDKeyboard.Page1, "HPTitle", GetStringFromTable( "LCDStrings", StringTables.LCDStrings.HIT_POINT_TITLE ) )<br />
