I would super appreciate the python syntax for displaying a .jpg using Pillow. Perhaps in the backlight example? Something super brief would be awesome. The old ST module used: disp.image(X).

thanks again, beautiful screen.

Hi @snarflakes, try something like this:

width = DisplayHATMini.WIDTH
height = DisplayHATMini.HEIGHT
buffer = Image.new("RGB", (width, height))
displayhatmini = DisplayHATMini(buffer, backlight_pwm=True)

with Image.open("myFile.jpg") as im:
    buffer.paste(
        im.resize((width // 2, height // 2)), 
        (width // 4, height // 4)
    )

displayhatmini.display()
