display orientation upside down about inky HOT 5 OPEN

It seems like possibly all it takes is flipping the negative/positive sign.

Flipping the rotation shouldn't do anything with your display, the default rotation is 0, I'm not sure why you're seeing a flipped rotation have an effect.

Have you verified that they have not drawn upside down pictures in their product photos? I'm wondering if this is an issue for us or not, since someone working with the pimoroni code will be working in another language anyway.

Honestly, I do not know what is going on, but I am just following the manufacturer's examples code and the same logic did not work. It is not side effect. The two libraries interpret coordinates differently and I was confused as a Display beginner.

Yeah if we see this library just different, then the user just needs to get used to it. It is more about a decision than an issue. I personally resolved this by the - in my fork (so I am happy 😄 ) but for the library it depends on what is required.

Hm, I think I found that your SSD1608 implementation defaults to 90 degrees, which also makes it clear why there wasn't a problem with the width/height vs rows/cols I commented about earlier. Two wrongs made a right, unless I'm having a brain fart moment, hehe.

Yeah, it's worth thinking about what the default orientation should be. @lawik do you remember if we talked about this? I kind of remember that "default is whatever the hardware says" was a comment made at some point, but this issue points out why that might be an issue. Worth thinking about a bit, I guess!

@lawik Here is my livebook notebook I used for the name badge example. It is my current best based on all the techniques I learned from your Youtube video. https://gist.github.com/mnishiguchi/7acf189376a4c5ffa184c39372cafbf4
