No attribute Fill

[BorisKourt]

I am using a feather M0 simple, with a Matrix board.

When I try to run the following:

import adafruit_is31fl3731
import board
import busio
with busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA) as i2c:
    display = adafruit_is31fl3731.Matrix(i2c)
    display.fill(127)

I get

AttributeError: 'Matrix' object has no attribute 'fill'

If I try to run the same code again in the same REPL session I get:

MemoryError: parser could not allocate enough memory

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Boris

I'm not sure about the memory error. That can depend a bit on the order that you do things. So, for that, please post everything you'd typed into the REPL.

For the fill issue, you've run into another doc problem. When I redid this library I changed it to have eight independent frames that you can edit. This allows you to switch quickly between multiple different designs really quickly. However, I didn't update the docs nor actually add the API to switch frames.

So, for now, you should be able to do display.displayed_frame.fill(127). (display.displayed_frame is the same as display.frames[0]) I need to fix the ability to set display_frame to a different frame (display.displayed_frame = display.frames[3] for example). Right now I believe the object will be changed but the display won't update.

Thanks for the clarification. Is this something I can contribute or would you rather do this yourself?

I would love it if you'd do it. :-) I'm happy to help with any issues you have trying to do it. I'm also on our Gitter chat most days and can help there as well.

This issue came up on the experimental version which is no longer in master. It will be somewhat revived later but for now we can close this.
