Possible Rotation

[makermelissa]

So it looks like framebufferio has a rotation property (https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shared-bindings/rgbmatrix/index.html) that we have not been taking advantage of. I think it might be possible to add rotation to this library by making use of that.

here’s the link from the MatrixPortal down to FrameBufferIO:

Adafruit_CircuitPython_MatrixPortal/adafruit_matrixportal/matrix.py

Line 180 in 9052492

self.display = framebufferio.FramebufferDisplay(matrix)

and I see that there is a rotation getter/setter for the FrameBufferDisplay:
https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shared-bindings/framebufferio/index.html#framebufferio.FramebufferDisplay.rotation

Oh yeah, it looks like I pasted the wrong link. That's the one I meant to paste. :)

From the CircuitPython call today, I just learned that TileGrid has options for transposing to her rotation, maybe that is an easier solution for text.
