I'm currently modifying my hardware to use a 128x64 graphic display
instead of the current 20x4 character display. As I was planning the
interface to the LCD, I noticed that DC includes some libraries related
to graphic displays.
My display uses a Epson S1D10605 controller, which appears to be a
fairly common memory-mapped interface where I can simply read and write
to either a control or data address. I've checked the timing diagrams,
and they appear to be compatible with the RCM2200 I'm using. I'll find
out soon enough when my dev hardware is complete.
It would appear that I can simply write my own version of
MSCG12232.lib/SED133F.LIB and then make use of the GRAPHIC.LIB library
and fonts. I've printed up documentation for Zworld's LCD/Keypad
module which gives a pretty decent overview of the functions in
GRAPHIC.LIB.
Can anyone offer feedback on using GRAPHIC.LIB, or in creating the glue
code between it and the actual display? How about GLMENU.LIB?
Is there more Zworld documentation, possibly including screen shots of
GRAPHIC.LIB and GLMENU.LIB in action?

Using GRAPHIC.LIB with non-Zworld display

Hello Tom,
You will need to write your own init, contrast, backlight and glSwap
functions for your specific controller. Once the low level stuff is
in place you can use the graphics.lib and menu.lib with no problems.
I don't know exactly where, but there is a skeleton of a driver in
the files or on the ZWorld BBS which outline the needed functions
for a custom driver. It is not that difficult, except if you want to
use color, then most of the library will have to be modified.

Tom,
Your observations are correct. All you need to do is write the low level driver with function names matching what is expected with graphics.lib (just use SED133F.lib as a template). No changes are needed to graphic.lib or glmenu.lib.
I think it is real neat how this is arranged, i.e. someone’s actually put a fair bit of thought into it.
Regards,
Nathan
