Inverted text

[BenScarb]

This will allow white text on a black background, when the invert parameter is set to True when adding text.
Also the WriteAll will now default to a partial update, unless specifically asked to do a full update as it's quicker that was (and looks better!)

Awesome! That's amazing.

I wonder, if in future we could extend it to do inversion for pictures too...?

But not relevant for time being. We will test and merge this later in the week :-)

Hi Ben, thanks, I'll have a look ASAP. Just a consideration though. You are going for partial update by default but I am not sure it might be "frustration free" for beginners. Don't you think the logic should be reversed?

[BenScarb]

Probably a good idea, keeps the same functionality as it is currently with the ability to switch to partial updates as needed. I'll make the change.

[BenScarb]

There we go, added some notes to the README.md as well, this time, without messing it up ;)

[francesco-vannini]

All good from my point of view. Could you just amend the papirus-write to add this new option?
Maybe rebase on #112 too if you can

[BenScarb]

Sorry @francesco-vannini I totally missed this! I can add the option to papirus-write.
I'm a Mercurial man here, so I'm not sure about the rebasing thing, I'll have a read up, see what I can do (Not sure I've even done it in mercurial land!).

[francesco-vannini]

No worries @BenScarb do what you can and we'll try to work around that. Thanks
Mostly the current textpos.py has some conflict due to recent PRs which needs solving.

[francesco-vannini]

Hey @BenScarb , any chance you could look into what we discussed?

[BenScarb]

Right. merge conflicts sorted (I think, my Pi is playing up, I've done it without actual testing, my apologies)
I'll go take a look at papirus-write now :)

[BenScarb]

Done. Sorry for taking so long to get this done, holiday in Turkey got in the way ;-)

[francesco-vannini]

Thanks @BenScarb , testing this now.
Btw the README.md looks again as if it is all changed. This is because you must have edited the file on a Windows box:
file README.md
README.md: Python script, ASCII text executable, with very long lines, with CRLF line terminators

Just so that it's quicker, what are the parts that you have added/changed so that I can go ahead and amend the README before merge.

[BenScarb]

Erm! Let me go check...
I did the changes in SublimeText, which I thought preserved line termination... There goes that idea!
Time to get a Linux box working properly :) OK...

Added "The Positional Text API (example 3)" section
Added the following text to the notes for the positional text section:
"When using the PapirusTextPos, in either mode, setting the "partial_updates" property to True will cause partial updates to be done, meaning only the section of the PaPiRus screen that has been changed will be updated. These can be vastly quicker than a full update for each piece of text.

If not using the "partial_updates" property, calling "WriteAll(True)" will do the same thing on a one off basis."

I think that's all, at least that's what the diffing tool is telling me!

[francesco-vannini]

Yeah, that's what I managed to find myself too. Thanks!
