| Command | Parameters | Description |
|---|---|---|
| flush | [flags] | Flush the contents of the framebuffer to the display. Optionally you may provide flags (see the table down below) |
| size | [window] | Get the size (width, height) of the framebuffer or a window as a tuple |
| width | [window] | Get the width of the framebuffer or a window as an integer |
| height | [window] | Get the height of the framebuffer or a window as an integer |
| orientation | [window], [angle] | Get or set the orientation of the framebuffer or a window |
| getPixel | [window], x, y | Get the color of a pixel in the framebuffer or a window |
| drawRaw | [window], x, y, width, height, data | Copy a raw bytes buffer directly to the framebuffer or the current frame of a window. The length of the bytes buffer must match the formula width*height*(bitsPerPixel//8). This is a direct copy: color format (bitsPerPixel) must match the specific display of the badge this command is used on. |
| drawPixel | [window], x, y, color | Draw a pixel in the framebuffer or a window |
| drawFill | [window], color | Fill the framebuffer or a window |
| drawLine | [window], x0, y0, x1, y1, color | Draw a line from (x0, y0) to (x1, y1) |
| drawRect | [window], x, y, width, height, filled, color | Draw a rectangle at (x, y) with size (width, height). Set the filled parameter to False to draw only the border, or set it to True to draw a filled rectangle. |
| drawCircle | [window], x0, y0, radius, a0, a1, fill, color | Draw a circle with center point (x0, y0) with the provided radius from angle a0 to angle a1, optionally filled (boolean) |
| drawText | [window], x, y, text, [color], [font], [x-scale], [y-scale] | Draw text at (x, y) with a certain color and font. Can be scaled (drawn with rects instead of pixels) in both the x and y direction |
| drawPng | [window], x, y, [data or filename] | Draw a PNG image at (x, y) from either a bytes buffer or a file |
| getTextWidth | text, [font] | Get the width a string would take if drawn with a certain font |
| getTextHeight | text, [font] | Get the height a string would take if drawn with a certain font |
| pngInfo | [data or filename] | Get information about a PNG image |
| windowCreate | name, width, height | |
| windowRemove | name | |
| windowMove | name, x, y | |
| windowResize | name, width, height | |
| windowVisibility | name, [visible] | |
| windowShow | name | |
| windowHide | name | |
| windowFocus | name | |
| windowList | - |
Colors are always represented in 24-bit from within Python, in the 0xRRGGBB format. This matches HTML/CSS colors which are #RRGGBB as well.
Devices with a smaller colorspace will not actually store the exact color information provided. For displays with a color depth of less than 24-bit the display driver will automatically mix down the colors to the available color depth. This means that even if you have a black and white display 0x000000 is black and 0xFFFFFF is white.
import display
x = 2
y = 3
display.drawPixel(x, y, 0x00FF00) # Set one pixel to 100% green
display.flush() # Write the contents of the buffer to the display
import display
display.drawFill(0x000000) # Fill the screen with black
display.drawLine(10, 10, 20, 20, 0xFFFFFF) # Draw a white line from (10,10) to (20,20)
display.flush() # Write the contents of the buffer to the display
import display
display.drawFill(0x000000) # Fill the screen with black
display.drawText(10, 10, "Hello world!", 0xFFFFFF, "permanentmarker22") # Draw the text "Hello world!" at (10,10) in white with the PermanentMarker font with size 22
display.flush() # Write the contents of the buffer to the display
import display
display.drawFill(0x000000) # Fill the screen with black
display.drawRect(10, 10, 10, 10, False, 0xFFFFFF) # Draw the border of a 10x10 rectangle at (10,10) in white
display.drawRect(30, 30, 10, 10, True, 0xFFFFFF) # Draw a filled 10x10 rectangle at (30,30) in white
display.flush() # Write the contents of the buffer to the display
