This library helps with creating menu pages when using graphical displays supported by the TFT_eSPI library.
- If you use the Arduino IDE, after installing the library TFT_eSPI you will need to change the file
User_Setup.h. See here for an excellent tutorial. - If you use the Platform io, you do not need to change the file
User_Setup.hbut instead you will need to add these build settings to the projectplatformio.inifile in your project folder.

-DLOAD_GLCD=1 ; Font 1. Original Adafruit 8 pixel font needs ~1820 bytes in FLASH
-DLOAD_FONT2=1 ; Font 2. Small 16 pixel high font, needs ~3534 bytes in FLASH, 96 characters
-DLOAD_FONT4=1 ; Font 4. Medium 26 pixel high font, needs ~5848 bytes in FLASH, 96 characters

Then you can just add
#include <DisplayMenu.h>
and you'r good to go
