There are various display emulators available for running code against, for debugging and screen capture functionality:

  • The luma.emulator.device.capture device will persist a numbered PNG file to disk every time its display method is called.
  • The luma.emulator.device.gifanim device will record every image when its display method is called, and on program exit (or Ctrl-C), will assemble the images into an animated GIF.
  • The luma.emulator.device.pygame device uses the pygame library to render the displayed image to a pygame display surface.
  • The luma.emulator.device.asciiart device renders the displayed image to a terminal using ANSI color codes and varying ASCII characters to represent pixel density.

Check out the examples on how to use the luma.emulator devices.
