@mikerenfro thanks - this looks great, there's one pylint error, if you fix it i'm happy to merge :) |
Line too long
|
you read my mind! awesome |
|
@ladyada Code should be lint-free now. |

It's an update to an office door sign I started several years ago, back when I had a Chumby and a Palm Pre Plus. The graph is generated by Ganglia and saved as a PNG on one of my servers at work, I'm definitely not graphing that content on the PyPortal. I'm just happy to finally get the PyPortal to update the graph once per hour and check the status text once a minute. I'll make a repo for the final code tomorrow. |
|
neat, how are you displaying PNGs? we only have support for BMPs natively, are you using a gfx conversion service ? |
|
Yes, that part is just standard PyPortal code using the Adafruit.io conversion service. I've used ImageMagick to convert locally on an earlier iteration of this, but for whatever reason, your BMPs end up considerably smaller than mine. And now that I'm able to separate the refresh cycles on the image and the status text, I don't worry nearly as much about SD lifespan, or getting rate-limited by the service, or unnecessary screen repainting. |

nice! please let us know when the code is posted, it looks really handy :) |

Greetings. Regarding the part of PyPortal set_text speed (and line-spacing)? about the default line spacing for multi-line text, I managed to override the
_line_spacingproperty on my text area to a much denser value.The image below shows the result of the tighter spacing.
Making a PR to allow users to set their own line spacing without using private properties, and keeping the default line spacing of 1.25. Thanks for any feedback.
