GraphLCD is a project to support graphical LC displays connected to the PC. It is mainly used by the graphlcd plugin for the Video Disc Recorder to display its information. have a look at this animated GIF to see the plugin in action (thanks to Hannes Stein for creating and providing it).

At the moment the following LCD controllers are supported by the project's driver library:

• Hitachi HD61830
• Toshiba T6963C
• Samsung KS0108
• Epson SED1520 (only tested with DIP122 lcd module)
• Epson SED1330
• Noritake GU140X32F-7806
• Noritake GU256X64-372
• Noritake GU256X64-3XX0 (serial or parallel)
• Noritake 800 Series
• all controllers supported by serdisplib (serdisplib.sourceforge.net)

Other controllers might be supported in the future.

Additionally the GraphLCD driver library includes some special drivers:

• framebuffer, for devices that are connected to the VGA connector
• image, for writing image sequences in PBM (Portable Bit Map) format that show the plugin's output.
