I have a 64 by 32 P3 waveshare matrix and when i attempt to display an image it only displays half the image on the matrix. however when i use the fill command it fills the entire matrix.

Picture of the Issue:

Hi  
The question too vague  
What is the matrix (exact model. scan number, drivers on rear side)  
What is the code that used to display an image…

as for the code it can be found here:

As I see it is not an hzeller library. Why not to ask from an author the code?

because I’m the author of the code and it uses the hzellar rpi-rgb-led library

As I see, you extracted a part of the code from the library. Perhaps, you done it incorrect.

I would recommend you first run your code in the library examples directory. If it work - then move it to the separate project.
