embedded-graphics-sparklines 0.1.0

About The Project

This library is a Rust implementation of ESParklines library which is extemely useful for creating real-time graphs for use with small embedded systems screeens.

This library is designed to be as simple as possible. It is responsible for:

• holding a buffer of pre-defined size of numeric data type
• renders sparklines using a passed-in function to draw lines
• is display-driver independent as you can provide any drawing function
• works with embedded-graphics simulator so you can quickly iterate on you dev machine

Built With

• rust
• embedded-graphics
• embedded-graphics-simulator

Getting Started

Make sure you have your rust environment configurated

Installation

1. Add library to your Cargo.toml

   ...
   [dependencies]
   embedded-graphics-sparklines = "0.1.0"
   

2. Use the library in you code

   
   let mut display: SimulatorDisplay<BinaryColor> = SimulatorDisplay::new(Size::new(240, 135));
   let bbox = Rectangle::new(Point::new(0, 26), Size::new(240, 90));
   let draw_fn = |lastp, p| Line::new(lastp, p);
   
   // create sparkline object
   let mut sparkline = Sparkline::new(
       bbox, // position and size of the sparkline
       32,   // max samples to store in memory (and display on graph)
       BinaryColor::On,
       1, // stroke size
       draw_fn,
   );
   
   let output_settings = OutputSettingsBuilder::new()
       .theme(BinaryColorTheme::OledBlue)
       .build();
   let mut window = Window::new("Sparkline", &output_settings);
   
   loop {
     let val = rand::thread_rng().gen_range(0..100);
     sparkline.add(val);
     sparkline.draw(&mut display)?;
   
     window.update(&display);
     thread::sleep( Duration::from_millis(100);
   }
   

3. Experiment and have fun! :relieved: See main.rs if you want to run a quick demo.

Quickstart

1. Make sure you've got cargo set up
2. Install cargo binary crate to be able to test easily on your computer

   $ cargo install embedded-graphics-sparklines
   

3. Run the provided binary example with simulator display

   $ embedded-graphics-sparklines --features build-binary
   

4. You should see an output similar to the followig one

Roadmap

• add tests
• add rustdocs
• CI integration with GithHub Actions
• better error generation & handling

See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).
