So my issue is that I have a picture 20\*20 on the top left corner  
I want to scroll a text from the top right corner to the picture, and if the text reach the picture, it goes behind it, not over it.

scrolling a text is look like this:  
while True:  
matrix.Clear() #Also Can I do partial clean? So the picture does not vibrate…  
matrix.SetImage(img.convert(‘RGB’),)  
len = graphic.DrawText(matrix, font\_7x13B, pos, 9, red, str(“Some long text”))  
pos -= 1  
if (len+pos) \< 0:  
pos = 80 # the lenght of the screen  
time.sleep(0.05)  
canvas = matrix.SwapOnVSync(canvas)
