- x - "x" position of the message.
- y - "y" position of the message.
- message - message to display.
OLED - Draw Line
This block draws a line on the OLED screen. With the starting point as (x0, y0) and the ending point as (x1, y1). The line width is about 1 pixel.
- line / rectangle - draw either a line or rectangle. Leave on line to draw a line.
- Start point - x0, y0
- End point - x1, y1
OLED - Draw Rectangle

- line / rectangle - draw either a line or rectangle. Change to rectangle to draw a rectangle.
- Top left corner - x0, y0
- Bottom right corner - x1, y1
OLED - Draw Circle
This block draws a circle on the OLED screen. With the center of the on the "x" and "y" inputs with a radius of "r".
- center of circle - x, y
- r - radius of the circle.
