GxEPD2

New Simplified Version of GxEPD for Arduino

for SPI e-paper displays from Dalian Good Display

and SPI e-paper boards from Waveshare

important note :

- these displays are for 3.3V supply and 3.3V data lines.

- never connect data lines directly to 5V data pins.

Paged Drawing, Picture Loop

- This library uses paged drawing to limit RAM use and cope with missing single pixel update support

- buffer size can be selected in the application by template parameter page_height, see GxEPD2_Example

- Paged drawing is implemented as picture loop, like in U8G2 (Oliver Kraus)

- see https://github.com/olikraus/u8glib/wiki/tpictureloop

- Paged drawing is also available using drawPaged() and drawCallback(), like in GxEPD

- // GxEPD style paged drawing; drawCallback() is called as many times as needed

- void drawPaged(void (drawCallback)(const void), const void* pv)

- paged drawing is done using Adafruit_GFX methods inside picture loop or drawCallback

Full Screen Buffer Support

- full screen buffer is selected by setting template parameter page_height to display height

- drawing to full screen buffer is done using Adafruit_GFX methods without picture loop or drawCallback

- and then calling method display()

Low Level Bitmap Drawing Support

- bitmap drawing support to the controller memory and screen is available:

- either through the template class instance methods that forward calls to the base display class

- or directy using an instance of a base display class and calling its methods directly
