AlphaNum4 missing easy print functions?

Post by ElectroLund »

I came here for this exact question:

viewtopic.php?p=867658&hilit=AlphaNum4#p867658

No replies there, auto-locked thread. Curiously, on one of the pages of the general help, regarding Python usage, there is reference to a print function:

There also seems to be a marquee function for the Python version?

The intellisense shows no such function using the Arduino IDE 2.x. If I look inside Adafruit_LEDBackpack.h, there's no such function there. Why would marquee and print only be available to Python users?
