Import M5Stack:

Converts the components of a color, as specified by the HSB model, to an equivalent set of values for the default RGB model.
Returns 24-bit integer value suitable to be used as color argiment
Arguments
- hue: float: any number, the floor of this number is subtracted from it to create a fraction between 0 and 1. This fractional number is then multiplied by 360 to produce the hue angle in the HSB color model.
- saturation: float; 0 ~ 1.0
- brightness: float; 0 ~ 1.0
Compile the source font file (must have .c extension) to the binary font file (same name, .fon extension) which can be used as external font.
If debug=True the information about compiled font will be printed.
You can create the c source file from any tft font using the included ttf2c_vc2003.exe program. See README for instructions.
You can create c source file or .fon file from tft font using online converter.
