set Display Mode

Set the display mode to either black and white or greyscale for rendering LEDs.

The LED screen can create a sense of color depth with the display mode setting. Color depth is the difference in darkness between the pixels in the display. The greyscale mode makes the pixels appear to have some amount of brightness to represent the grey value of real color. The black and white mode just shows an image on the pixels with the LEDs either on or off.

Parameters

  • mode the display mode type. This is either BlackAndWhite or GreyScale.

Example

Set the display mode to black and white.
