Detailed Description

Display control class, based on GraphicsDisplay and TextDisplay.

Example:

 #include "stdio.h"
 #include "mbed.h"
 #include "SPI_TFT_ILI9341.h"
 #include "string"
 #include "Arial12x12.h"
 #include "Arial24x23.h"
 


 // the TFT is connected to SPI pin 5-7 and IO's 8-10
 SPI_TFT_ILI9341 TFT(p5, p6, p7, p8, p9, p10,"TFT"); // mosi, miso, sclk, cs, reset, dc
 If your display need a signal for switch the backlight use a aditional IO pin in your program 

 int main() {
     TFT.claim(stdout);      // send stdout to the TFT display 
     //TFT.claim(stderr);      // send stderr to the TFT display

     TFT.background(Black);    // set background to black
     TFT.foreground(White);    // set chars to white
     TFT.cls();                // clear the screen
     TFT.set_font((unsigned char*) Arial12x12);  // select the font
     
     TFT.set_orientation(0);
     printf("  Hello Mbed 0");
     TFT.set_font((unsigned char*) Arial24x23);  // select font 2
     TFT.locate(48,115);
     TFT.printf("Bigger Font");
  }
