@kimbauters: Can you give me an example? Do you actually mean having the ability to write a bitmap into a Graphics area? I'd got something for one bit pixmaps internally, but having the ability to blit a typed array into graphics would be quite cool.

Or do you mean when you use: http://www.espruino.com/Reference#l_Graphics_createCallback

However nothing is using that one right now...

The idea would indeed be to dump a typed array into graphics. If you want to display custom graphics, you can dabble with lines and circles and such, but being able to get your own graphics in there now comes down to just doing a pixel by pixel update.

PS: sorry about all issues in the docs section. I added all issues and only then realised I was in the wrong repository. The web version of github isn't all that intuitive for first time users ... :-s

No worries :)

While we could add a Graphics.blitArrayBuffer(arrayBuf,x,y,width,height,bufWidth,bufHeight,bpp), it might be nice to have a Bitmap class instead that stored information on the bitmap. Perhaps that could even be used as the target when Graphics.createArrayBuffer was used.

Whatever we do it'd be very nice to be able to draw a subimage (and to be able to draw different bits per pixel bitmaps). That way people could easily upload their own bitmap fonts and things like that.

It'd be nice if this somehow has support for:

• Alpha channel (or specifying a transparent colour)
• Drawing 1 bit bitmaps in a specific colour (text is the obvious use case)
