This also improves Palette so it stores the original RGB888 colors.
Lastly, it adds I2CDisplay as a display bus to talk over I2C. Particularly
useful for the SSD1306.
Fixes#1828. Fixes#1956
This fixes the bug that bitmap changes do not cause screen updates
and optimizes the refresh when the bitmap is simply shown on the
screen. If the bitmap is used in tiles, then changing it will
cause all TileGrids using it to do a full refresh.
Fixes#1981
Different operations to the display tree have different costs. Be
aware of these costs when optimizing your code.
* Changing tiles indices in a TileGrid will update an area
covering them all.
* Changing a palette will refresh every object that references it.
* Moving a TileGrid will update both where it was and where it moved to.
* Adding something to a Group will refresh each individual area it
covers.
* Removing things from a Group will refresh one area that covers all
previous locations. (Not separate areas like add.)
* Setting a new top level Group will refresh the entire display.
Only TileGrid moves are optimized for overlap. All other overlaps
cause sending of duplicate pixels.
This also adds flip_x, flip_y and transpose_xy to TileGrid. They
change the direction of the pixels but not the location.
Fixes#1169. Fixes#1705. Fixes#1923.
This changes the displayio pixel computation from per-pixel to
per-area. This is precursor work to updating portions of the screen
(#1169). It should provide mild speedups because bounds checks are
done once per area rather than once per pixel. Filling by area also
allows TileGrid to maintain a row-associative fill pattern even when
the display's refresh is orthogonal to it.
If a native displayio object is accessed before it's super().__init__()
has been called, then a placeholder is given that will cause a crash if
accessed. This is tricky to get right so we detect this case and raise
a NotInplementedError instead of crashing.
Fixes#1881
* Update pybadge pins and flash for rev D
* TileGrid now validates the type of the pixel_shader.
* Display actually handles incoming subclass objects.
* MicroPython will inspect native parents to see if special
accessors are used.
With the bus exposed, we can send custom commands to the display, to
leverage advanced features specific to the display, which are not
exposed by default.
This brings it inline with Group. Also fixes#1613
This also includes a number of fixes for where a method is called
through a subclass. We now correctly get the native object.
Fixes#1567
Lastly, this adds subscript support to TileGrid for changing tile
indices. Similar to Bitmap, it accepts ints or 2-tuples.
* Fixes safe mode on the SAMD51. The "preserved" value was being
clobbered by the bootloader.
* Fixes auto-reload loop when in safe mode.
* Fixes reading Group children with [].
* Check that a TileGrid actually moves before queueing a refresh.
This changes a number of things in displayio:
* Introduces BuiltinFont and Glyph so the built in font can be used by libraries. For boards with
a font it is available as board.TERMINAL_FONT. Fixes#1172
* Remove _load_row from Bitmap in favor of bitmap[] access. Index can be x/y tuple or overall index. Fixes#1191
* Add width and height properties to Bitmap.
* Add insert and [] access to Group. Fixes#1518
* Add index param to pop on Group.
* Terminal no longer takes unicode character info. It takes a BuiltinFont instead.
* Fix Terminal's handling of [###D vt100 commands used when up arrowing into repl history.
* Add x and y positions to Group plus scale as well.
* Add bitmap accessor for BuiltinFont
Display rotation is relative to the scan order of the display.
The scan order can be found by scrolling the display with command
0x37 `display_bus.send(0x37, struct.pack(">H", i % 128))`
Fixes#1504
* Fix Hallowing.
* Fix builds without displayio.
* Fix y bounds that appears as untrollable row of pixels.
* Add scrolling to TileGrid.
* Remove Sprite to save space. TileGrid is a drop in replacement.
