GLCD (ST7565R) SPI component

Graphical display component designed to work with the ST7565 type monochrome displays. Transfers data using a 4-wire SPI interface, cannot read back so pixel based routines won't work.

Heigt of gLCD canvas measured in pixels.
	Colour
	Monochrome
Specifies if the display is capable of colour or monochrome only.
	Foreground Color
Specifies the initial foreground color.
	Background Color
Specifies the initial background color.
	Bit Depth
	Color Bit Depth
