/** 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 INANBO-T24-ILI9328-V11 - a RGB TFT
 * with 240x320 pixels resolution and 65K/262K colors, using 8/16-bit interface.
 *
 * The display works with a supply voltage of 2.8-3.3 volts for both logic and
 * backlight.  It can be driven in 8bit or 16bit interface mode. (Current
 * version of the driver works only in 16bit mode for now.)
 *
 * How to use:
 * \code
 * // include the library, this will also pull in the header for the provided fonts
 * #include "ili9328.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
 * ILI9328_LCD 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

     *          or normally dark, the screen might or might not go
