Display

A Display provides a 2-D image. It could be an OLED, LCD panel, an e-Ink display, even an HDMI output or an LED matrix.

The LCPF does not provide “public” access for creating or using Displays, although it already has some “hidden” support.

However, Displays may never get the same degree of support as Lights.

• Display oriented effects are quite different from Light oriented effects
• Many projects using Displays will want to do more complex custom animations or display output in ways that require a bit of programming to define how they should be “rendered”. Since the LCPF goes to great lengths to avoid the need for defining how something is done, in cases where it’s required it would likely be easier to implement with “traditional” programming techniques.
• It is expected that most projects will use Lights, but few will use Displays. Since Display oriented effects will require more memory to “run”, and providing a wide assortment of options might take up too much flash memory space needed for higher priority features
