Usage Example
=============

For a board with a built-in display.

.. code:: python

    import board
    import terminalio
    from adafruit_display_text import label


    text = "Hello world"
    text_area = label.Label(terminalio.FONT, text=text)
    text_area.x = 10
    text_area.y = 10
    board.DISPLAY.root_group = text_area
    while True:
        pass
