[Documentation] What is displayIO? #16

Closed github-throwaway closed 3 years ago

github-throwaway commented 3 years ago

This might be a dumb question but what is displayIO? How is this library different from the framebuf version? I feel this difference should be explained in the documentation / readme.

See the guide here for usage and high level info about displayio: https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-display-support-using-displayio/introduction

displayio is a display API that uses TileGrid, Group, Bitmap, and a few other objects to draw things on the screen.
