Inkplate partialUpdate() parameters documentation

Customer:

I want to ask if you can document the parameters of partialUpdate(). In your example Inkplate_Partial_Update_With_Deep_Sleep.ino it has two parameters, which are not documented in the API.

You can find the docs here for that function: Inkplate Arduino — Inkplate docs documentation

Customer:

In this documentation partialUpdate() has no parameters. But in your example code of Inkplate_Partial_Update_With_Deep_Sleep.ino it has:

display.partialUpdate(false, true);

There is a contradiction between your documentation and your sample code.

Soldered Support:

The first parameter in function display.partialUpdate(false, true) provides a partial update after boot. If you set this to false, Inkplate will make a full refresh the first time after boot. If you want to make a partial update after boot you must set this parameter to true. The second parameter is for the power supply for e-paper. When set to true, the e-paper power supply stays on after refreshing.
