• text(self, x, y, text, color, font=sysfont, background=0, landscape=False, spacing=1, nowrap = False): Please note the different parameter sequence as compared to draw_text

• demo_ssd1306_fb.py: This program demonstrates
  • the drawing of lines
  • rectangles
  • filled rectangles
  • circles
  • the plot of a sine function with a text
• demo_ssd1306.py has the same functionality but instead of passing through the frame buffer it writes to the hardware directly

Here are a few photos of some of the screen images

• graphicstest.py and
• graphicstest_fb.py

This program is quite similar in nature as demo-ssd1306.py but produces slightly different graphics and it integrates a text writing demo in addition, where a long text is displayed, wrapped to the next line once the end of the line is reached. The text is displayed in portrait mode in green font color and in white when showing off text drawing in landscape mode.

Again a have a few photos for you:

• demo_bouncing boxes.py: shows a number of differently colored filled rectangles that bump of the the edges of the screens.

• demo_colored_squares.py: shows a number a filled rectangles in different colors

• demo_color_palette.py:

As explained above, text writing in different fonts is not exactly easy. While the original SSD1351 driver loaded its fonts from C files before using them, a procedure which could take several tens of seconds, the new version uses the same fonts but converted into Python code and stored in flash together with access methods to get the pixel information. Now, no font loading is necessary any more and text drawing becomes very fast. The text drawing demo
