## Usage

Install with pip,

```bash

pip install dispmanx

```

Then try out this sample program using [pygame](https://www.pygame.org/docs/),

```python

from random import randint

import pygame

from dispmanx import DispmanX

def random_color_with_alpha():

    return tuple(randint(0, 0xFF) for _ in range(3)) + (randint(0x44, 0xFF),)

display = DispmanX(pixel_format="RGBA")

surface = pygame.image.frombuffer(display.buffer, display.size, display.pixel_format)

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

for _ in range(20):

    surface.fill(random_color_with_alpha())

    display.update()

    clock.tick(2)

```
