This library's purpose is to ease creation of nodes with one or more displays on sides. For example, signs and clocks. Display can be dynamic and/or different for each node instance.

**Limitations**: This lib uses entities to draw display. This means display has to be vertical. So display nodes rotation are limitated to "upside up" positions.
