This integration uses full "RAM" memory buffer without picture loop and calls u8g2's `begin()` internally when creating a display object. It is based on [v2.23.18](https://github.com/olikraus/U8g2_Arduino/releases/tag/2.23.18).

## Overview

### Library Usage
The Lua bindings for this library closely follow u8g2's object oriented C++ API. Based on the u8g2 class, you create an object for your display type. The communication interface has to be initialized up front, refer to the examples below on how to do this.

SSD1306 via I²C:
```lua
sla = 0x3c
disp = u8g2.ssd1306_i2c_128x64_noname(id, sla)
```

SSD1306 via SPI:
```lua
cs  = 22
dc  = 16
res = 0 -- RES is optional YMMV
disp = u8g2.ssd1306_128x64_noname(bus, cs, dc, res)
```

This object provides all of u8g2's methods to control the display. Refer to [graphics_test.lua](../../../lua_examples/u8g2/graphics_test.lua) to get an impression how this is achieved with Lua code. Visit the [u8g2 homepage](https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2) for technical details.

### Displays selection
I²C and HW SPI based displays with support in u8g2 can be enabled.

The procedure is different for ESP8266 and ESP32 platforms.

#### ESP8266
Add the desired entries to the I²C or SPI display tables in [app/include/u8g2_displays.h](../../../app/include/u8g2_displays.h):
```c
#define U8G2_DISPLAY_TABLE_I2C \
  U8G2_DISPLAY_TABLE_ENTRY(u8g2_Setup_ssd1306_i2c_128x64_noname_f, ssd1306_i2c_128x64_noname) \

#define U8G2_DISPLAY_TABLE_SPI \
  U8G2_DISPLAY_TABLE_ENTRY(u8g2_Setup_ssd1306_128x64_noname_f, ssd1306_128x64_noname) \
  U8G2_DISPLAY_TABLE_ENTRY(u8g2_Setup_pcd8544_84x48_f, pcd8544_84x48) \
  U8G2_DISPLAY_TABLE_ENTRY(u8g2_Setup_pcf8812_96x65_f, pcf8812_96x65) \
```

Alternatively, you can define them as `U8G2_DISPLAY_TABLE_I2C_EXTRA` and `U8G2_DISPLAY_TABLE_SPI_EXTRA` in an external file to avoid changing the source tree. Include the extra file on the `make` command line:
```
make EXTRA_CCFLAGS='-include $(TOP_DIR)/my_extras.h'
```

#### ESP32
Enable the desired entries for I²C and SPI displays in u8g2's sub-menu (run `make menuconfig`).

### Fonts selection
U8g2 comes with a wide range of fonts for small displays. Fonts can be supplied as strings or compiled into the firmware image to decrease the RAM footprint. If compiled into the firmware they become available as `u8g2.<font_name>` in Lua.

The procedure is different for ESP8266 and ESP32 platforms.

#### ESP8266
Add the desired fonts to the font table in [app/include/u8g2_fonts.h](../../../app/include/u8g2_fonts.h):
```c
#define U8G2_FONT_TABLE \
  U8G2_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_6x10_tf) \
  U8G2_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_unifont_t_symbols) \
```

Alternatively, you can define this as `U8G2_FONT_TABLE_EXTRA` in an external file to avoid changing the source tree. Include the extra file on the `make` command line:
```
make EXTRA_CCFLAGS='-include $(TOP_DIR)/my_extras.h'
```

#### ESP32
Add the desired fonts to the font selection sub-entry via `make menuconfig`.

### Bitmaps
XBM bitmaps are supplied as strings to `drawXBM()` in contrast to the source code based inclusion of XBMs in upstream u8g2 library. This off-loads all data handling from the u8g2 module to generic methods for binary files. See [graphics_test.lua](../../../lua_examples/u8g2/graphics_test.lua).

Conversion of XBM bitmaps can be performed online with [Online-Utility's Image Converter](http://www.online-utility.org/image_converter.jsp): Convert from XBM to MONO format and upload the binary result.

#### Syntax
`u8g2.ssd1306_128x64_noname(bus, cs, dc[, [res][, cb_fn]])`

#### Parameters
- `bus` SPI master bus
- `cs` GPIO pin for CS
- `dc` GPIO pin for DC
- `res` GPIO pin for RES, none if omitted
- `cb_fn` optional callback function, see [Framebuffer callback](#framebuffer-callback)

#### Returns
u8g2 display object

#### Example for ESP8266
```lua
-- Hardware SPI CLK  = GPIO14
-- Hardware SPI MOSI = GPIO13
-- Hardware SPI MISO = GPIO12 (not used)
-- Hardware SPI /CS  = GPIO15 (not used)
cs  = 8 -- GPIO15, pull-down 10k to GND
dc  = 4 -- GPIO2
res = 0 -- GPIO16
bus = 1
spi.setup(bus, spi.MASTER, spi.CPOL_LOW, spi.CPHA_LOW, 8, 8)
-- we won't be using the HSPI /CS line, so disable it again
gpio.mode(8, gpio.INPUT, gpio.PULLUP)
disp = u8g2.ssd1306_128x64_noname(bus, cs, dc, res)
```

#### Example for ESP32
```lua
sclk = 19
mosi = 23
cs   = 22
dc   = 16
res  = 17
bus = spi.master(spi.HSPI, {sclk=sclk, mosi=mosi})
disp = u8g2.ssd1306_128x64_noname(bus, cs, dc, res)
```

## Framebuffer callback
Each display type can be initialized to provide the framebuffer contents in run-length encoded format to a Lua callback. This mode is enabled when a callback function is specified for the setup function. Hardware display and framebuffer callback can be operated in parallel. If the callback function is the only parameter then no signals for a hardware display are generated, leaving a virtual display.

The callback function can be used to process the framebuffer line by line. It's called with either `nil` as parameter to indicate the start of a new frame or with a string containing a line of the framebuffer with run-length encoding. First byte in the string specifies how many pairs of (x, len) follow, while each pair defines the start (leftmost x-coordinate) and length of a sequence of lit pixels. All other pixels in the line are dark.

```lua
n = struct.unpack("B", rle_line)
print(n.." pairs")
for i = 0,n-1 do
  print(string.format("  x: %d len: %d", struct.unpack("BB", rle_line, 1+1 + i*2)))
end
```

#### Syntax
```lua
u8g2.ssd1306_i2c_128x64_noname(id, address[, cb_fn])
u8g2.ssd1306_i2c_128x64_noname(cb_fn)
u8g2.ssd1306_128x64_noname(bus, cs, dc[, [res][, cb_fn]])
u8g2.ssd1306_128x64_noname(cb_fn)
```

#### Parameters
- `id`, `address`, `bus`, `cs`, `dc`, `res` see above
- `cb_fn([rle_line])` callback function. `rle_line` is a string containing a run-length encoded framebuffer line, or `nil` to indicate start of frame.

See [u8g2 drawTriangle()](https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki/u8g2reference#drawtriangle).

## u8g2.disp:drawUTF8()
Draw a string which is encoded as UTF-8.

See [u8g2 drawUTF8()](https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki/u8g2reference#drawutf8).

## u8g2.disp:drawVLine()
Draw a vertical line.

See [u8g2 drawVLine()](https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki/u8g2reference#drawvline).

## u8g2.disp:drawXBM()
Draw a XBM Bitmap.

See [u8g2 drawXBM()](https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki/u8g2reference#drawxbm).

XBM bitmaps are supplied as strings to `drawXBM()`. This off-loads all data handling from the u8g2 module to generic methods for binary files. See [graphics_test.lua](../../../lua_examples/u8g2/graphics_test.lua).

In contrast to the source code based inclusion of XBMs in upstream u8g2 library, it's required to provide precompiled binary files. This can be performed online with [Online-Utility's Image Converter](http://www.online-utility.org/image_converter.jsp): Convert from XBM to MONO format and upload the binary result.

## u8g2.disp:getAscent()

See [u8g2 getAscent()](https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki/u8g2reference#getascent).

## u8g2.disp:getDescent()
Returns the reference height of the glyphs below the baseline (descent).

See [u8g2 getDescent()](https://github.com/olikraus/u8g2/wiki/u8g2reference#getdescent).

## u8g2.disp:getStrWidth()
Return the pixel width of string.
