Hello,

Could you insert a function to text scroll a string ?

I mean a very simple function (for us) just to display any string.

Thank's

Scrolling text, like any animation, involves controlling time. It is completely 
outside the scope of the library and would restrict it's use in other cases.

For scrolling to occur, you need to "redraw" the display several times, 
depending on the speed of the scroll - for that, you would need to control the 
loop, make the scroll function blocking or make a specific method for updating 
the animation - either of these methods is (and must be) outside the scope of 
the library.

Together with the library there are several examples - one of which is a text 
scroller using the library that you can adapt to your liking and requirements.
