Color LCD

Question

Can I draw color shapes on color LCD with PIL.ImageDraw.Draw like that?

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from ev3dev2.display import Display
d = Display()
d.draw.rectangle((10,10,60,20), fill='red')

Hmmm... I would say the answer is "yes", but the hack we're using to handle the fact that the normal greyscale display reports as 32bpp might actually mess this up. Have you tried it? Does it work?

If not, can you try manually commenting out the lines linked to above in your installed version of the library? (Let me know if you don't know how to do that and I can write some more details.) You should be able to figure out where it's installed by doing the following in a Python shell:

import ev3dev2.display

print(ev3dev2.display.__file__)
