Horizontal orientation

Question

Hi, I'm using STM32F429 discovery board with native screen size 240x320. So it's standart vertical orientation. I want to make an application in a horizontal orientation so the screen size should be like 320x240. What parametres should i change?

P.S. I'm using 8.00 Eval Studio version if that matters.

Hi,

the provided 'ScreenOrientation' sample demonstrates the possibility to create a UI application for 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° screen rotation.

If you want to use the provided Template project (as written in the document Getting Started with STM32F429 Discovery), then you should make the following steps:

• Create a new project for STM32F429
• Select the Profile brick
• Change the attribute 'ScreenSize' to <320,240>
• Change the attribute 'ScreenOrientation' to 'Rotated_90' or 'Rotated_270'
• Set the attribute 'OutputDirectory' to \Examples\Template\GeneratedCode
• Implement your GUI application and generate the code
• Open the makefile of the Template project within a text editor and set the flag 'ROTATION' to 90 or 270
• Rebuild the entire project.
• Enjoy :-)
