Nothing.
Requires

Before calling this function initialize ADC module.
Example 
ADC1_Init();               // Initalize ADC module
TP_TFT_Init(320, 240, 13, 12); // Initialize touch panel
Notes

None.

TP_TFT_Rotate

Prototype

procedure TP_TFT_Rotate(rotate : byte);
Description

Rotates touch panel by 180 degrees.

Returns

Nothing.
Requires

Nothing.
Example 
TP_TFT_Rotate(1);   // rotate Touch Panel by 180 degrees
Notes

None.
