Description
I was searching for information if this driver supports partial update for epaper displays. It seems circuitpython displayio does it, but it depends on the driver, right? SSD1680 does support partial update too.
With GxEPD2_GFX and this Arduino example it works well: https://github.com/WeActStudio/WeActStudio.EpaperModule/blob/master/Example/EpaperModuleTest_Arduino_ESP32C3/EpaperModuleTest_Arduino_ESP32C3.ino
Without partial refresh i can update every 180 seconds, that is very annoying during development. For now I've switched to C++ for my project, but i really like python much more for the purpose of my project.

Research direction
Start by reading the SSD1680 CircuitPython displayio driver and comparing its behavior with the linked GxEPD2_GFX Arduino example and the stated SSD1680 partial-update capability. Determine whether partial refresh is supported or what driver changes would be required; done means a documented, working partial-update path for the display.
