Various common shapes for use with displayio


Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.

Installing from PyPI
--------------------
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-display_shapes/>`_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-display_shapes

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-display_shapes

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

    mkdir project-name && cd project-name
    python3 -m venv .env
    source .env/bin/activate
    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-display_shapes

Usage Example
=============

.. code-block:: python

    import board
    import displayio
    from adafruit_display_shapes.rect import Rect
    from adafruit_display_shapes.circle import Circle
    from adafruit_display_shapes.roundrect import RoundRect

    splash = displayio.Group()
    board.DISPLAY.show(splash)

    color_bitmap = displayio.Bitmap(320, 240, 1)
    color_palette = displayio.Palette(1)
    color_palette[0] = 0xFFFFFF
    bg_sprite = displayio.TileGrid(color_bitmap, pixel_shader=color_palette, position=(0, 0))
    print(bg_sprite.position)
    splash.append(bg_sprite)

    triangle = Triangle(170, 50, 120, 140, 210, 160, fill=0x00FF00, outline=0xFF00FF)
    splash.append(triangle)

    rect = Rect(80, 20, 41, 41, fill=0x0)
    splash.append(rect)

    circle = Circle(100, 100, 20, fill=0x00FF00, outline=0xFF00FF)
    splash.append(circle)

    rect2 = Rect(50, 100, 61, 81, outline=0x0, stroke=3)
    splash.append(rect2)

    roundrect = RoundRect(10, 10, 61, 81, 10, fill=0x0, outline=0xFF00FF, stroke=6)
    splash.append(roundrect)

    while True:
        pass


Documentation
=============

API documentation for this library can be found on `Read the Docs <https://docs.circuitpython.org/projects/display-shapes/en/latest/>`_.

For information on building library documentation, please check out `this guide <https://learn.adafruit.com/creating-and-sharing-a-circuitpython-library/sharing-our-docs-on-readthedocs#sphinx-5-1>`_.

Contributing
============

Contributions are welcome! Please read our `Code of Conduct

before contributing to help this project stay welcoming.

Building locally
================

Zip release files
-----------------

To build this library locally you'll need to install the
`circuitpython-build-tools <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython-build-tools>`_ package.

.. code-block:: shell

    python3 -m venv .env
    source .env/bin/activate
    pip install circuitpython-build-tools

Once installed, make sure you are in the virtual environment:

.. code-block:: shell

    source .env/bin/activate

Then run the build:

.. code-block:: shell

    circuitpython-build-bundles --filename_prefix adafruit-circuitpython-display_shapes --library_location .

Sphinx documentation
-----------------------

Sphinx is used to build the documentation based on rST files and comments in the code. First,
install dependencies (feel free to reuse the virtual environment from above):

.. code-block:: shell

    python3 -m venv .env
    source .env/bin/activate
    pip install Sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme

Now, once you have the virtual environment activated:

.. code-block:: shell

    cd docs
    sphinx-build -E -W -b html . _build/html

This will output the documentation to ``docs/_build/html``. Open the index.html in your browser to
view them. It will also (due to -W) error out on any warning like Travis will. This is a good way to
locally verify it will pass.
