push rotated to sprite does not work

[JohannieK]

I am trying to push a rotated text onto a sprite. I can push the text to the sprite un-rotated, but when I try to push it rotated, I only get a green square. I am trying to make a compass wheel with the E and W letters rotated so that they will be upright when the wheel is rotated

`#include "SPI.h"
#include "TFT_eSPI.h"
#include "Free_Fonts.h"

TFT_eSPI tft = TFT_eSPI();
TFT_eSprite dirWheel = TFT_eSprite(&tft);
TFT_eSprite dirLetter = TFT_eSprite(&tft);

void calcPoints(int degrees, int & x1, int & y1, int & x2, int & y2 ) {
x1 = 50 + 50 * cos (degrees * pi / 180);
y1 = 50 + 50 * sin (degrees * pi / 180);
x2 = 50 + 50 * cos (degrees * pi / 180);
y2 = 50 + 50 * sin (degrees * pi / 180);
}

void createWheel() {
dirWheel.setColorDepth(1);
dirWheel.createSprite(100, 100);
dirLetter.setColorDepth(1);
dirLetter.createSprite(14, 14);
dirLetter.fillSprite(TFT_BLACK);
dirLetter.setFreeFont(FM9);
dirLetter.setTextColor(TFT_GREEN,TFT_BLACK);
dirLetter.setTextDatum(CC_DATUM);
dirLetter.drawString("E", 7 ,7, GFXFF);
dirLetter.setPivot(7, 7);
dirWheel.setBitmapColor(TFT_GREEN, TFT_BLACK);
dirWheel.setPivot(50, 50);
dirWheel.fillSprite(TFT_BLACK);
dirLetter.pushToSprite(&dirWheel,1,43); //When this is is used, I get the E at the correct location on the dirWheel sprite
//dirLetter.pushRotated(&dirWheel,90); //When this line is used I get a green square at the middle of the dirWheel sprite
dirWheel.setFreeFont(FM9);
dirWheel.setTextColor(TFT_GREEN,TFT_BLACK);
dirWheel.setTextDatum(TC_DATUM);
dirWheel.drawString("N", 50 ,1, GFXFF);
dirWheel.setTextDatum(BC_DATUM);
dirWheel.drawString("S", 50 ,99, GFXFF);
dirWheel.pushRotated(0);
dirWheel.setTextDatum(ML_DATUM);
//dirWheel.drawString("E", 1 ,50, GFXFF);
dirWheel.setTextDatum(MR_DATUM);
dirWheel.drawString("W", 99 ,50, GFXFF);
int x1 = 0;
int y1 = 0;
int x2 = 0;
int y2 = 0;
calcPoints(45,x1,y1,x2,y2);
dirWheel.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, TFT_GREEN);
calcPoints(135,x1,y1,x2,y2);
dirWheel.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, TFT_GREEN);
calcPoints(225,x1,y1,x2,y2);
dirWheel.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, TFT_GREEN);
calcPoints(315,x1,y1,x2,y2);
dirWheel.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, TFT_GREEN);
dirWheel.setBitmapColor(TFT_GREEN, TFT_BLACK);
dirWheel.pushRotated(0);
}

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println();
Serial.println("Starting up...");
// Start the tft display
tft.init();
// Set the TFT display rotation in landscape mode
tft.setRotation(1);

// Clear the screen before writing to it
tft.fillScreen(TFT_BLACK);
tft.setTextColor(TFT_WHITE, TFT_BLACK);
tft.setPivot(265, 185);
createWheel();
}

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug ?

Changing the sprites to 8 bit per pixel makes the code work with pushRotated, so I suspect it is a bug

Below code works.

void createWheel() { dirWheel.setColorDepth(8); dirWheel.createSprite(100, 100); dirLetter.setColorDepth(8); dirLetter.createSprite(14, 14); dirLetter.fillSprite(TFT_BLACK); dirLetter.setFreeFont(FM9); dirLetter.setTextColor(TFT_GREEN,TFT_BLACK); dirLetter.setTextDatum(CC_DATUM); dirLetter.drawString("E", 7 ,7, GFXFF); dirLetter.setPivot(7, 7); //dirWheel.setBitmapColor(TFT_GREEN, TFT_BLACK); dirWheel.setPivot(50, 50); dirWheel.fillSprite(TFT_BLACK); //dirLetter.pushToSprite(&dirWheel,1,43); dirLetter.pushRotated(&dirWheel,90); dirWheel.setFreeFont(FM9); dirWheel.setTextColor(TFT_GREEN,TFT_BLACK); dirWheel.setTextDatum(TC_DATUM); dirWheel.drawString("N", 50 ,1, GFXFF); dirWheel.setTextDatum(BC_DATUM); dirWheel.drawString("S", 50 ,99, GFXFF); dirWheel.pushRotated(0); dirWheel.setTextDatum(ML_DATUM); //dirWheel.drawString("E", 1 ,50, GFXFF); dirWheel.setTextDatum(MR_DATUM); dirWheel.drawString("W", 99 ,50, GFXFF); int x1 = 0; int y1 = 0; int x2 = 0; int y2 = 0; calcPoints(45,x1,y1,x2,y2); dirWheel.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, TFT_GREEN); calcPoints(135,x1,y1,x2,y2); dirWheel.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, TFT_GREEN); calcPoints(225,x1,y1,x2,y2); dirWheel.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, TFT_GREEN); calcPoints(315,x1,y1,x2,y2); dirWheel.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, TFT_GREEN); //dirWheel.setBitmapColor(TFT_GREEN, TFT_BLACK); dirWheel.pushRotated(0); }
