#you could load a bitmap using adafruit_

Hmm, I will have to look into that. But then wouldn't I be treating the 8x8 Neopixel as a display? And if so doesn't that preclude me from running any other displays since to the best of my knowledge CP only supports one display?
BTW, I am still an infant with CircuitPython coding having only started with it easlier this year, so be patient. I am at that stage where I am getting stuff accomplished but I don't know what I don't know.

you don't need another display to use a bitmap

You are not treating the 8x8 neopixel matrix as a display, you still need to use the Pixel Framebuf library to set each pixel value like this pixel_framebuf.pixel(4, 6, 0xFF0000)
adafruit_imageload library is just to create an iterable 2D array out of your image

Sorry if I am starting to sound a bit daft here, but circling back around to the image command in the Pixel framebuf library, is that particular command not useable from an ESP32-S2 board, as you implied earlier saying it is for Linux machines only, and I need to stick to the other commands available in the library instead?

Do you mean I could use a bitmap for other purpose outside of linking it with a display and display elements like tilegrids and what not?
