This is a port of Henning Kralsen's UTFT library for Arduino/chipKIT to mbed, refactored to make full use of C inheritance and access control, in order to reduce work when implementing new drivers and at the same time make the code more readable and easier to maintain. As of now supported are SSD1289 (16-bit interface), HX8340-B (serial interface) and ST7735 (serial interface). Drivers for other controllers will be added as time and resources to acquire the displays to test the code permit.

+/** Represents a LCD instance.
+ *
+ * This is the utility class, through which the display can be manipulated
+ * and graphics objects can be shown to the user.  A known display, which
+ * works with this library is the ITDB02-3.2S from iTeadStudio - a RGB TFT
+ * with 240x320 pixels resolution and 65K colors, using 16-bit interface.
+ *
+ * The display needs 20 or 21 pins to work with mbed, so it is possibly not
+ * the best of choices out there, but other than that it uses +3.3V for
+ * power and logic, as well as the backlight, thus can be interfaced directly
+ * to the mbed without the need of shields or level shifters as with Arduino.
+ *
+ * How to use:
+ * \code
+ * // include the library, this will also pull in the header for the provided fonts
+ * #include "ssd1289.h"
+ * 
+ * // prepare the data bus for writing commands and pixel data
+ * BusOut dataBus( p30, p29, p28, p27, p26, p25, p24, p23, p22, p21, p20, p19, p18, p17, p16, p15 ); // 16 pins
+ * // create the lcd instance
+ * SSD1289 lcd( p14, p13, p12, p11, &dataBus ); // control pins and data bus
+ *
+ * int main()
+ * {
+ *     // initialize display - place it in standard portrait mode and set background to black and
+ *     //                      foreground to white color.
+ *     lcd.Initialize();
+ *     // set current font to the smallest 8x12 pixels font.
+ *     lcd.SetFont( Font8x12 );
+ *     // print something on the screen
+ *     lcd.Print( "Hello, World!", CENTER, 25 ); // align text to center horizontally and use starndard colors
+ *
+ *     while ( 1 ) { }
+ * }
+ *
+ * \endcode
+ * \version 0.1
