Why are the functions for the VEX LCD screen so limited? It would be really nice to have some nxt-like functions. Even just the ability to set individual pixels would do. I understand that the screen is very small, and the probability of needing to draw and make animations like on the nxt is very low. But it would still be useful to set and invert pixels.

Seconded... This would allow for some much improved user interfaces, as well as changing text size.

Agreed. I'm looking through the %INSTALLATION_ROOT%/includes folder now and seeing if a 3rd party solution could be developed. I am not liking how an installation of RobotC for Cortex and PIC is so merged with the NXT platform - heavily disorganized.
