Description 
This outlines the procedure to create a new project that uses the Microchip Graphics Library from scratch. 
The library comes with the default font (Gentium 18). This font can be changed in two ways. 
Fonts used in the library can be configured to use anti-aliasing and extended glyph support. 
Basic rendering functions such as Line(), Rectangle(), Circle() etc are referred to as functions in the Graphics Primitive Layer. These functions can also be implemented in the device driver layer if the display device supports hardware acceleration of the function. Applications that directly calls these functions can take advantage of the hardware accelerated primitives. How these functions are used will depend on the "Configuration Setting". 
Utilizing the Color Look Up Table (CLUT) of the Microchip Graphics Module saves memory for both storage and display buffer. This short instructional manual outlines the procedure to create source code files to use the CLUT of the Microchip Graphics Module and enable the Microchip Graphics Library to use the hardware feature. 
This manual describes how to convert an image or a set of images to use a common palette in GIMP. 
In most cases, the application will define its own set of colors and not use the default colors that comes with the Graphics Library. This section shows an example on how to do it. 
Display glasses will require 24 bit or 18 bit RGB color data. How do you do the connection when your display controller only puts out 16 bit RGB data bus? 
This is a summary of the requirements to add a new device driver.
