Color GLCD display driver - ST7735 devices

[Anobium]

Just released an updated Color GLCD display driver using the ST7735 controller.

The GLCD.h driver for the TFT ST7735 is a 1.8 inch display with 128 * 160 Color pixels. The command set is the standard GLCD command set with color. See code below and the attachment for an example.

Hugh developed the core of this release a while ago this provide compatibility and a host of new commands to allow the fullest of control of the display.

Have fun,

Using additional fonts. I recently added additional fonts as an option to GCB. The example file attached, see https://sourceforge.net/p/gcbasic/discussion/629990/thread/ba139c2e/50fd/attachment/TFT%20Display%20001.gcb using two fonts. Remember - many more fonts can be defined.... table space is the limitation.

Example usage. Note the internal GCB font define GLCDfntDefault as 0. Therefore GLCDfntDefault = 0 is already defined.

  GLCDfntDefault = 1                 ; change to alternative font #1
  GLCDBackground = ST7735_YELLOW     ; select Yellow
  GLCDDrawString(0,120,str(1)+"TestString")    ; print string using font #1

  GLCDfntDefault = 0                ;  revert to GCB font
  GLCDBackground = ST7735_GREEN     ; use Green
  GLCDDrawString(80,119,str(0)+"TestString")    ; print a string.

When adding a new font set you must add the following to add the additional font method:

 #define GLCDDrawChar AltGLCDDrawChar

Then, you MUST add the AltGLCDDrawChar method and the five tables per font. AltGLCDDrawChar shows the method to add more fonts.
