A small 2D graphics library to draw things on embedded graphical LCDs, like the SSD1306 OLED display.

This crate aims to make drawing 2D graphics primitives super easy. It currently supports the following:

  • 1 bit-per-pixel images
  • 8 bit-per-pixel images (downsampled to 1BPP currently)
  • Primitives
    • Lines
    • Rectangles (and squares)
    • Circles
  • Text with a 6x8 pixel font

A core goal is to do the above without using any buffers; the crate should work without a dynamic memory allocator and without pre-allocating large chunks of memory. To achieve this, it takes an Iterator based approach, where pixel values and positions are calculated on the fly, with the minimum of saved state. This allows the consuming application to use far less RAM at little to no performance penalty.

To use this crate in a driver, you only need to implement the Drawing trait to start drawing things.

You can also add your own objects by implementing IntoIterator<Item = Pixel> to create an iterator that Drawable#draw() can consume.

It currently only supports monochrome displays. Contributions to support full colour as well are very welcome!

Example usage from the SSD1306 driver:

#![no_std]

extern crate cortex_m;
extern crate embedded_graphics;
extern crate embedded_hal as hal;
extern crate panic_abort;
extern crate ssd1306;
extern crate stm32f103xx_hal as blue_pill;

use blue_pill::i2c::{DutyCycle, I2c, Mode};
use blue_pill::prelude::*;
use embedded_graphics::image::Image1BPP;
use embedded_graphics::prelude::*;
use ssd1306::{mode::GraphicsMode, Builder};

fn main() {
    let dp = blue_pill::stm32f103xx::Peripherals::take().unwrap();
    let mut flash = dp.FLASH.constrain();
    let mut rcc = dp.RCC.constrain();
    let clocks = rcc.cfgr.freeze(&mut flash.acr);
    let mut afio = dp.AFIO.constrain(&mut rcc.apb2);
    let mut gpiob = dp.GPIOB.split(&mut rcc.apb2);
    let scl = gpiob.pb8.into_alternate_open_drain(&mut gpiob.crh);
    let sda = gpiob.pb9.into_alternate_open_drain(&mut gpiob.crh);

    let i2c = I2c::i2c1(
        dp.I2C1,
        (scl, sda),
        &mut afio.mapr,
        Mode::Fast {
            frequency: 400_000,
            duty_cycle: DutyCycle::Ratio1to1,
        },
        clocks,
        &mut rcc.apb1,
    );

    let im = Image1BPP::new(include_bytes!("./rust.raw"), 64, 64).translate((32, 0));
    let mut disp: GraphicsMode<_> = Builder::new().connect_i2c(i2c).into();

    disp.init().unwrap();
    disp.flush().unwrap();
    disp.draw(im.into_iter());
    disp.flush().unwrap();
}

TODO

  • General matrix transforms
  • Full colour support
