Hey, I am loving your FBINK, and using it to fullfill my longtime dream to build an eink typewriter out of my old GLO. So a big thanks for that.

For now, I am using a node.js app that controls fbink cli throught ssh. This works pretty well, and will end up in a pi 0 with a blutooth keyboard. However, I have had some trouble to understand some advanced use cases.

Like, is there in the CLI a way to pipe some raw data to display on an area without relying to an image on the file-system ?

And more obscurely, I understand your lib will not provide means to manage rotation. Is tehre documented ways to have those kind of kobos interpret the frame-buffer at 90° ?

Thanks for your lights,

Olup
