make option to flip horizontal/vertical #33

Closed txoof closed 8 months ago

txoof commented 2 years ago

Some WaveShare displays display all content mirrored over the X or Y axis for ??? REASONS ???. Add an option to mirror content along either of those axes.

So this is already an option in OmniEPD. Do we want to fix this for EPD_Display or just make sure it works for PaperPi?

I don't see much win in adding this to epd_display; it would mean a refactor to the main branch of epdlib and then changes in epd_display including the config file.

aaronr8684 commented 2 years ago

That was pretty much my thought as well. I figured, we'd kinda live with the limitations of epd_display until PaperPi is ready and then add any missing functionality to the new version if it's missing.

@aaronr8684 went ahead and added this in this PR but now I'm reconsidering how I implemented this.

Maybe a good idea to rewind those PRs and just do it through OmniEPD.

Pulled back the original PR and switched to using the IT8951 option. #37

I'd like to use the OmniEPD feature when we get there, but I've had several requests for including this option now. As Omni doesn't support grayscale, I think this is worth merging in to the master branch.

I have this running on a display right now; I'll see if run into any problems over the next few days and then merge this in.
