The base class for drawing to the Arduino TFT screen. Use this to create an named instance of the TFT class to refer to in your sketch.
if using the Arduino Explora, you do not need to call this, all references to the screen are handled through EsploraTFT.
TFT(cs, dc, rst); for using hardware SPI
TFT(cs, dc, mosi, sclk, rst); for use on any pins
cs : int, pin for chip select dc : int, pin used for rst : int, pin used for reset mosi : int, pin used for MOSI communication when not using hardware SPI sclk : int, pin used for the shared clock, when not using hardware SPI
