Issue
There was no method in this library allowed a user to mirror a display. This can be useful in cases where you would want the display to reflect off a surface (ex. a automobile hud).
Scope of changes
The actual code change is limited to the main library, overloading the existing
Adafruit_ILI9341::setRotation
class function. However, this may have broader implications for the library as a whole depending on how draw functions are implemented. That being said, in my testing I ran into no issues.Limitations
This change was only tested on an Uno platform with a generic shield. However, as this only changes ILI9341 register values, I seriously doubt there any compatibility issues across platforms.
Testing
The simplest way to test this is with a modified example:
This should display the test text in one orientation, then mirror it, before rotating to the next orientation.
