  1. The original starting point for this library was the Adafruit_ILI9341
  2. library in January 2015.
  3. The licence for that library is MIT.
  4. The first evolution of the library that led to TFT_eSPI is recorded here:

  8. This is our library for the Adafruit ILI9341 Breakout and Shield
  9. ----> http://www.adafruit.com/products/1651
  10. Check out the links above for our tutorials and wiring diagrams
  11. These displays use SPI to communicate, 4 or 5 pins are required to
  12. interface (RST is optional)
  13. Adafruit invests time and resources providing this open source code,
  14. please support Adafruit and open-source hardware by purchasing
  15. products from Adafruit!

  19. Selected functions from the Adafruit_GFX library (as it was in 2015) have
  20. been imported into the TFT_eSPI.cpp file and modified to improve
  21. performance, add features and make them compatible with the ESP8266 and
  22. ESP32.
  23. The fonts from the Adafruit_GFX and Button functions were added later.
  24. The fonts can be found with the license.txt file in the "Fonts\GFXFF"
  25. folder.
  26. The Adafruit_GFX functions are covered by the BSD licence.

  50. Due to the evolution of the TFT_eSPI library the original code may no longer
  51. be recognisable, however in most cases the function names can be used as a
  52. reference point since the aim is to retain a level of compatibility with
  53. the popular Adafruit_GFX graphics functions.
  54. Contributions from other authors are recorded on GitHub:
  55. https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI
  56. The major addition to the original library was the addition of fast
  57. rendering proportional fonts of different sizes as documented here:
  58. https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-TFT-display-and-font-library/
  59. The larger fonts are "Run Length Encoded (RLE)", this was done to
  60. reduce the font memory footprint for AVR processors that have limited
  61. FLASH, with the added benefit of a significant improvement in rendering
  62. speed.
  63. In 2016 the library evolved significantly to support the ESP8266 and then
  64. the ESP32. In 2017 new Touch Screen functions were added and a new Sprite
  65. class called TFT_eSprite to permit "flicker free" screen updates of complex
  66. graphics.
  67. In 2018 anti-aliased fonts were added along with a Processing font conversion
  68. sketch.
  69. In 2019 the library was adapted to be able to use it with any 32 bit Arduino
  70. compatible processor. It will run on 8 bit and 16 bit processors but will be
  71. slow due to extensive use of 32 bit varaibles.
  72. Many of the example sketches are original work, that contain code created
  73. for my own projects. For all the original code the FreeBSD licence applies
  74. and is compatible with the GNU GPL.
