If this parameter is not + given, a default value of 96 pixels is used. + +Height + Sets the vertical size of the display. If this parameter is not + given, a default value of 16 pixels is used. + +UpsideDown + Rotates the display output by 180 degrees. This might be useful, if + the LCD is mounted upside-down. + Possible values: 'yes', 'no' + Default value: 'no' + +Invert + Inverts the display. + Possible values: 'yes', 'no' + Default value: 'no' + +Brightness + Sets the brightness of your display's backlight. + Possible values: 0 <= x <= 100) + Default value: 50 + +RefreshDisplay + Normally, most of the drivers do not update the whole display, but + only the areas that have changed since last update. So it might be, + that some faulty pixels would stay a longer time. To avoid this, the + plugin makes a complete refresh from time to time. This parameter + defines how often a complete refresh will be done. + e.g.: A value of 5 means, that the plugin will make a complete + refresh on every 5th update. + A value of 0 completely disables complete refreshs. + Possible values: 0 <= x <= 50 + Default value: 50 + + |
