| 1 | +The original starting point for this library was the Adafruit_ILI9341 |
| 2 | +library in January 2015. |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +The licence for that library is MIT. |

| 6 | +The first evolution of the library that led to TFT_eSPI is recorded here: |

| 17 | + These displays use SPI to communicate, 4 or 5 pins are required to |
| 18 | + interface (RST is optional) |

| 29 | +Selected functions from the Adafruit_GFX library (as it was in 2015) have |
| 30 | +been imported into the TFT_eSPI.cpp file and modified to improve |
| 31 | +performance, add features and make them compatible with the ESP8266 and |
| 32 | +ESP32. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +The fonts from the Adafruit_GFX and Button functions were added later. |
| 35 | +The fonts can be found with the license.txt file in the "Fonts\GFXFF" |
| 36 | +folder. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +The Adafruit_GFX functions are covered by the BSD licence. |

| 71 | +Due to the evolution of the TFT_eSPI library the original code may no longer |
| 72 | +be recognisable, however in most cases the function names can be used as a |
| 73 | +reference point since the aim is to retain a level of compatibility with |
| 74 | +the popular Adafruit_GFX graphics functions. |

| 78 | + |
| 79 | +The major addition to the original library was the addition of fast |
| 80 | +rendering proportional fonts of different sizes as documented here: |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-TFT-display-and-font-library/ |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +The larger fonts are "Run Length Encoded (RLE)", this was done to |
| 85 | +reduce the font memory footprint for AVR processors that have limited |
| 86 | +FLASH, with the added benefit of a significant improvement in rendering |
| 87 | +speed. |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +In 2016 the library evolved significantly to support the ESP8266 and then |
| 90 | +the ESP32. In 2017 new Touch Screen functions were added and a new Sprite |
| 91 | +class called TFT_eSprite to permit "flicker free" screen updates of complex |
| 92 | +graphics. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +In 2018 anti-aliased fonts were added along with a Processing font conversion |
| 95 | +sketch. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +In 2019 the library was adapted to be able to use it with any 32 bit Arduino |
| 98 | +compatible processor. It will run on 8 bit and 16 bit processors but will be |
| 99 | +slow due to extensive use of 32 bit variables. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Many of the example sketches are original work that contain code created |
| 102 | +for my own projects. For all the original code the FreeBSD licence applies |
| 103 | +and is compatible with the GNU GPL. |
