Examples and Code
### Example 1: Basic Display Output using Python
In this example, we will demonstrate how to output a simple "Hello World" message on the 7in display using Python.
```python
import framebuffer
# Initialize the framebuffer
fb = framebuffer.FrameBuffer('/dev/fb0')
# Clear the screen
fb.clear_screen()
# Set the font and text color
fb.set_font('DejaVuSans-Bold', 24)
fb.set_text_color(255, 255, 255)
# Print the message
fb.print_text(10, 10, 'Hello World!')
# Update the screen
fb.update_screen()
```
This code initializes the framebuffer, clears the screen, sets the font and text color, and prints the "Hello World!" message at coordinates (10, 10).
### Example 2: Displaying Sensor Data using Python and Matplotlib
In this example, we will demonstrate how to display temperature and humidity data from a BME280 sensor on the 7in display using Python and Matplotlib.
```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import bme280
# Initialize the BME280 sensor
bme = bme280.BME280(i2c_dev="/dev/i2c-1")
# Get the current temperature and humidity readings
temp = bme.get_temperature()
humid = bme.get_humidity()
# Create a figure and axis objects
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(7, 4))
# Plot the data
ax.plot([temp], label='Temperature (C)')
ax.plot([humid], label='Humidity (%)')
ax.set_title('Environmental Data')
ax.legend()
# Show the plot on the display
plt.show(block=False)
# Update the plot every 10 seconds
while True:
    temp = bme.get_temperature()
    humid = bme.get_humidity()
    ax.clear()
    ax.plot([temp], label='Temperature (C)')
    ax.plot([humid], label='Humidity (%)')
    ax.set_title('Environmental Data')
    ax.legend()
    plt.draw()
    plt.pause(10)
```
This code initializes the BME280 sensor, gets the current temperature and humidity readings, creates a plot using Matplotlib, and displays it on the 7in display. The plot is updated every 10 seconds with new sensor readings.
