file with an extra 200 bytes.
The colors of the picture should be consistent with the standard colors of the drawing board that come with Windows.The color of the drawing board is as follows:
E-paper | Colors |
---|---|
1.54-inch E-paper - Dotmatix 200x200 | pure black and white |
2.13-inch E-Paper -Flexible Monochrome 212x104 | pure black and white |
2.13-inch E-Paper - Quadruple 212x104 | black, white, red, and yellow |
