Hi folks, first post. I raised this as an issue on the picographics github but perhaps this is a better place.
Scenario: Creating a bunch of LED-signs for logistics company, need to display 4 - 5 chars visible from 10 - 30 meters away.
Hardware: Pimoroni 128x64 px display with Interstate 75W. Should be large enough if I can use most of the area.
Problem: When displaying text that utilizes the full width of the display there are wasted pixels above and below the text. I would like some way to stretch the text vertically. I realize that stretching too much would deform it and make it illegible, but a bit would help visibility while maintaining legibility.
I’m new to the Interstate 75W, familiar with programming on a hobby level. I’m sure there are workarounds but my Googling didn’t give a clear answer. Grateful for any pointers so I don’t waste time going down the wrong route, i.e. if custom bitmap fonts are the way to go I’ll do it but maybe there is an easier workaround :)
Thanks in advance,
Per
