README.txt 

This is the core graphics library for all our displays, providing a common set of graphics primitives (points, lines, circles, etc.).  It needs to be paired with a hardware-specific library for each display device we carry (to handle the lower-level functions).

Adafruit invests time and resources providing this open source code, please support Adafruit and open-source hardware by purchasing products from Adafruit!

Useful Resources
================

-  Image2Code
   This is a handy Java GUI utility to convert a BMP file into the array code necessary to display the image with the drawBitmap function.  Check out the code at ehubin's GitHub repository:
     https://github.com/ehubin/Adafruit-GFX-Library/tree/master/Img2Code

-  drawXBitmap function
   You can use the GIMP photo editor to save a .xbm file and use the array saved in the file to draw a bitmap with the drawXBitmap function. See the pull request here for more details:
