Version 1.20.5

Glorious Vector Visuals

This release introduces a beta of PicoVector, a library that sits atop PicoGraphics and supplies anti-aliased vector drawing tools using Pretty Poly.

PicoVector is currently available in the following builds:

• Pico
• Pico W
• Pico LiPo
• Tufty 2040

It includes support for Alright Fonts, allowing you to convert almost any ttf or otf font into a simplified vector format - a sequence of overlapping polygonal contours - which you can use in your PicoGraphics projects.

And, we really mean almost any font -

Currently PicoVector is not fast. Turning off anti-aliasing gets you a little more performance, but it's generally only useful in very limited quantities.
