There is a distinct lack of documentation for the GFX HAT.
I had to resort to “use the source, Luke”, which wasn’t actually a problem, but…

From the GFX-HAT github repository:

That’s the definition of the complete set of raspberry pi gpio pins from the gfx hat upinout example, not the pinout for the gfx hat itself.

Phil has made a couple of updates to the GFX HAT docs! I’ve updated the original post…

The GPIO pinout page for the GFX Hat now exists!
