Introduction¶

MicroPython Graphics Library. This library uses the IL9486 driver from Peter Hinch taken from https://github.com/peterhinch/micropython-nano-gui. with a Waveshare 3.5 display This library uses FrameBuffer. It could work for other displays, however, is not my intention to adapt or provide this functionality. This is an exercise to learn MicroPython Graphics adapting the following library from CircuitPython https://github.com/jposada202020/CircuitPython_uplot

Take a look in the examples section in RTD to see the gallery

Installing with mip¶

To install using mpremote

mpremote mip install github:jposada202020/MicroPython_UPLOT

To install directly using a WIFI capable board

mip.install("github:jposada202020/MicroPython_UPLOT")

Installing Library Examples¶

If you want to install library examples:

mpremote mip install github:jposada202020/MicroPython_UPLOT/examples.json

To install directly using a WIFI capable board

mip.install("github:jposada202020/MicroPython_UPLOT/examples.json")

Installing from PyPI¶

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:

pip3 install micropython-uplot

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

sudo pip3 install micropython-uplot

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install micropython-uplot

Usage Example¶
