clear() results in TypeError for WaveShare epd2in13_V2 about omni-epd HOT 6 CLOSED

Thank you for testing that. I wondered if that was the case as well with the re-install. I'll mark this accordingly and make the change in the main branch directly since it's a pretty simple fix. Thank you for confirming!

Thanks for the all the information on this. Changing the alt_clear field should have triggered the correct clear method. How did you test after the change? Did you uninstall and rebuild the module if installed on your system?

I found a workaround for this to make it work. If you want to clear the screen, use:

epd._device.Clear(0xFF)

from omni-epd.

How is that any different than this line? https://github.com/robweber/omni-epd/blob/main/src/omni_epd/displays/waveshare_display.py#L137

By changing the alt_clear parameter to True it should trigger that as part of the normal epd.clear() method. The above definitely works but kind of ruins the point of having an abstraction that works for other EPD devices by having to access the device directly.

I agree that it's essentially the same; it's just what I did to make it work for my device. I'll try the suggested above fix to see if it works (as it should, as they are equivalent).

So I tested it, and the below modification mentioned works.

"epd2in13_V2": {"alt_init": True, "lut_init": True, "alt_clear": True, "version": 2},

It cleared my screen blank. Maybe the author of the issue didn't reinstall the changed library.
