Member Function Documentation

◆ flush()

override async Task flush ( )
protectedvirtual

Flush any updates to the RawBuffer to the display

Returns
An awaitable task that completes upon sending the update to the display

Internal function called by the implementation to flush the RawBuffer to the display

Returns
An awaitable task that completes upon success

Implements GraphicDisplay.

◆ setBrightness()

override void setBrightness ( double  brightness)
protectedvirtual

Sets the global brightness of the graphic display

Parameters
brightnessThe brightness of the display

Implements GraphicDisplay.

◆ SetCursorPosition()

async Task SetCursorPosition ( int  left,
int  top 
)
inherited

Set left/right cursor position

Parameters
leftThe left position
topThe top position
Returns
An awaitable task that completes once the cursor is updated

Implements ICharacterDisplay.

◆ SetPixel()

void SetPixel ( int  row,
int  column,
bool  state 
)
inherited

Set a pixel's state.

You must explicitly flush to the display to write out the changes.

Parameters
rowThe row of the pixel
columnThe column of the pixel
stateWhether the pixel should be on or off

◆ Write()

async Task Write ( dynamic  value)
inherited

Display an alphanumeric value using a 5x7 font at the given character column and row

Parameters
valueThe alphanumeric value to use
Returns
An awaitable task that will finish upon completion

This method is used for quickly rendering fixed-size sharp, monospaced text on a monochrome graphic display, allowing these displays to be dropped into a project in place of a (usually more costly and older) character display. If you want control over the size and font family used to display the text, use the extremely extensible System.Drawing.Graphics class.

If you want control over

Implements ICharacterDisplay.

◆ WriteLine()

async Task WriteLine ( dynamic  value)
inherited

Write a line of text, advancing the cursor to the next line

Parameters
valuethe text to write
Returns
An awaitable task that completes when finished

Implements ICharacterDisplay.

◆ Clear()

override Task Clear ( )
virtualinherited

Clear the display

Returns
An awaitable task

Reimplemented from GraphicDisplay.

◆ FlushAsync()

Task FlushAsync ( bool  force = false)
inherited

Flush changed data to the port expander

Parameters
forcewhether to flush all data to the port expander, even if it doesn't appear to have been changed

Implements IFlushable.
