The ATmega2032U4 doesn’t have enough RAM to keep a screen buffer for the display.. you’d need about 100k of RAM, and the ATmega32U4 only has 2.5k.

The ATmega32U4 can copy bitmap images from an SD card and send them to the display, and it can do algorithmic graphics — ones where you calculate the pixel locations instead of storing them in a buffer.. lines, rectangles, circles, text, and so on — using our GFX library.
