**luma.emulator** provides a series of pseudo-display devices which allow 
the `luma.core <https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.core>`_ components to be used
without running a physical device. These include:

* Real-time (pixel) emulator, based on `pygame <http://pygame.org/docs/>`__
* LED matrix and 7-segment renderers
* PNG screen capture
* Animated GIF animator
* Real-time ASCII-art & block emulators
