Working version here at last

After a longer than expected time I have now uploaded a mini project that uses Raspigfx library of 2D code, a font library that is public domain and can render TTF fonts to grey scale bitmaps.

I have created a raspigfxtest.c program to run through all the basic 2D tests. There are more to add but this is a start from now and shows the power of the uncelebrated PI.

I have worked mostly on the PI3 but the demo works about the same speed on all PIs as its single threaded so given the same base CPU speed they are comparable.

Place all the files in a folder on your PI

make comptest executable with
chmod +x comptest
run it with
./comptest

and then call the runme program with

./runme

You can tweek the graphics resolution inside the code - it expect 1920x1080
