Trait embedded_graphics::SizedDrawing

pub trait SizedDrawing<C> where
    C: PixelColor + Clone, {
    fn draw_sized<T>(&mut self, item: T)
    where
        T: IntoIterator<Item = Pixel<C>> + Dimensions;
}

Very similar to the Drawing trait, but accepts drawable objects which have a known size

If the device used supports partial updates where only a given range of pixels is updated, you should also implement SizedDrawing alongside Drawing. This trait is similar to Drawing, but has a bound on Dimensions which provides methods for getting the bounding box of the passed item to draw.

The example below shows a contrived implementation for a display that doesn't require a framebuffer. It sends pixels one by one to over the SPI bus which isn't very efficient, but that could be fixed by using a fixed length chunked buffering scheme.

use embedded_graphics::egcircle;
use embedded_graphics::prelude::*;
use embedded_graphics::SizedDrawing;
use embedded_graphics::pixelcolor::{Gray8, GrayColor};

/// A fake display 64px x 64px where each pixel is stored as a single `u8`
struct ExampleBufferlessDisplay {
    iface: SPI1,
}

impl ExampleBufferlessDisplay {
    /// Set draw area
    pub fn set_draw_area(&self, x1: i32, y1: i32, x2: i32, y2: i32) -> Result<(), ()> {
        // Some magic incantation to set a sub-area of the display to update
        self.iface
            .send_command(&[0xff, x1 as u8, y1 as u8, x2 as u8, y2 as u8])
    }
}

impl SizedDrawing<Gray8> for ExampleBufferlessDisplay {
    fn draw_sized<T>(&mut self, item: T)
    where
        T: IntoIterator<Item = Pixel<Gray8>> + Dimensions,
    {
        // Get bounding box `Point`s as `(u32, u32)`
        let tl = item.top_left();
        let br = item.bottom_right();

        // Set a sub-area of the display to update
        self.set_draw_area(tl[0], tl[1], br[0], br[1]);

        // Send updated pixel one at a time. Could use a chunked buffer to make this more efficient.
        // `coord` isn't used as the update area is the same as the item's bounding box which
        // wraps the bytes automatically
        for Pixel(_coord, color) in item {
            self.iface.send_bytes(&[color.luma()]);
        }
    }
}

fn main() {
    let mut display = ExampleBufferlessDisplay {
        iface: SPI1
    };

    // Draw a circle centered around `(32, 32)` with a radius of `10` and a white stroke
    display.draw_sized(egcircle!((32, 32), 10, stroke = Some(Gray8::WHITE)));

    // No `flush()` is required as `draw_sized()` sends the bytes directly
}
