####################### Creating Custom Bitmaps ####################### You can store up to eight custom bitmaps using PiFace Control and Display. Each bitmap describes a single character on the LCD screen (5x8 pixels). To create a custom bitmap you instantiate an :class:`LCDBitmap` which takes a list of binary values each describing a line. For example:: >>> quaver = pifacecad.LCDBitmap([2, 3, 2, 14, 30, 12, 0]) or as hex:: >>> quaver = pifacecad.LCDBitmap([0x2, 0x3, 0x2, 0xe, 0x1e, 0xc, 0x0]) or as binary (you can almost see the bitmap image here):: >>> quaver = pifacecad.LCDBitmap([0b00010, ... 0b00011, ... 0b00010, ... 0b01110, ... 0b11110, ... 0b01100, ... 0b00000]) .. note:: You can use `this tool `_ to help design custom bitmaps. Make sure you select 5x8. You store and display custom bitmaps with the following commands:: >>> cad = pifacecad.PiFaceCAD() >>> cad.lcd.store_custom_bitmap(0, quaver) >>> cad.lcd.write_custom_bitmap(0) Here is a complete code example:: >>> import pifacecad >>> cad = pifacecad.PiFaceCAD() >>> quaver = pifacecad.LCDBitmap([0x2, 0x3, 0x2, 0xe, 0x1e, 0xc, 0x0]) >>> cad.lcd.store_custom_bitmap(0, quaver) >>> cad.lcd.write_custom_bitmap(0)
