Correctly showing a value on a display

TC

Hello all, I need a little help correctly showing a value on my LCD display. My variables are integer, but I need to show a decimal point. The decimal point never really moves, For example;

MyVar := 100000
On display = 100.000

MyVar := 10000
On display = 10.000

MyVar := 1000
On display 1.000

MyVar := 123456
On display = 123.456

Post your code. From the examples you've posted, you're getting a perfectly good display of 3 decimal places for a variety of values. What are you trying to do?

It is for a 3d printer. the code I am working with takes the string value (N3 G1 X1.104 Y2.500 Z-.100) from the host software, converts it to intergers (N=3, G=1, X=1104, Y=2500, Z=-100). all the coordinance are 3 decimal places, and my display object works just like "Parallax Serial Terminal"

I used those examples from my first post just to give an idea of what I was talking about, they are not in my code.

I've posted a method called "DecPoint" a few times to the forum. It should do what you want. If you have trouble finding it, let me know.
