An Arduino IDE compatible graphics and fonts library for ESP8266 and ESP32 processors with a driver for ILI9341, ILI9163, ST7735, S6D02A1, ILI9481, ILI9488, ILI9486 and HX8357 based TFT displays that support SPI. 8 bit parallel interface TFTs (e.g. UNO format mcufriend shilds) can used with an ESP32.

8 bit parallel interface TFTs (e.g. UNO format mcufriend shields) can used with an ESP32.
The library supports TFT displays designed for the Raspberry Pi that are based on a ILI9486 driver chip with a 480 x 320 pixel screen. This display must be of the Waveshare design and use a 16 bit serial interface based on the 74HC04, 74HC4040 and 2 x 74HC4094 logic chips. A modification to these displays is possible (see mod image in Tools folder) to make many graphics functions much faster (e.g. 23ms to clear the screen, 1.2ms to draw a 72 pixel high numeral).

Configuration of the library font selections, pins used to interface with the TFT and other features is made by editting the User_Setup.h file in the library folder, or by selecting a configuration in the library "User_Setup_Selet,h" file. Fonts and features can easily be disabled by commenting out lines.

**Anti-aliased Fonts**
#Anti-aliased Fonts
Anti-aliased (smooth) font files in "vlw" format are generated by the free [Processing IDE](https://processing.org/) using a sketch included in the library Tools folder. This sketch with the Processing IDE can be used to generate font files from your computer's font set or any TrueType (.ttf) font, the font file can include **any** combination of 16 bit Unicode characters. This means Greek, Japanese and any other UCS-2 glyphs can be used. Character arrays and Strings in UTF-8 format are supported.
