I try to draw the vertical line on the screen here is my code

import time
import random
import os.path
import socket
import sys
from demo_opts import get_device
from luma.core.virtual import viewport
from luma.core.render import canvas
from PIL import Image
from PIL import ImageDraw
UDP_IP = "0.0.0.0"
UDP_PORT = 7015
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, #INTERNET
                       socket.SOCK_DGRAM) #UDP
sock.bind((UDP_IP, UDP_PORT))
print ("Start")

def scroll_right(virtual, pos):
    x, y = pos
    if virtual.width > device.width:
        while x < virtual.width - device.width:
	    (data, addr) = sock.recvfrom(1024)  # buffer size
            d = int(data.decode('utf-8'))
            print("message:", d)
            virtual.set_position((x, y))
            x = d * 2.2

    return (x, y)
def main():
    while True:
        img_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),
            'images', 'test.png'))
        pixel_art = Image.open(img_path).convert(device.mode)
	draw = ImageDraw.ImageDraw(pixel_art)
        w, h = pixel_art.size
	shape = [(40, 30), (w - 64, h - 64)] 
        virtual = viewport(device, width=w, height=h)
	draw.line(shape , fill="white", width = 0)
        virtual.display(pixel_art)
        pos = (1100, 0)
        pos = scroll_right(virtual, pos)
	

if __name__ == "__main__":
    try:
        device = get_device()
        main()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        pass

From the code I import the picture and I scrolling the picture and I want to create the vertical line on the middle of the screen but this line must stay still at the middle of the screen not scrolling with the picture (my screen size 128*128). Any advice ? Thank You

I'm not familiar with the libraries you are using, but on line 39, if pixel_art is the surface you are drawing to, that needs to be replaced with the display window. Then each frame the line is drawn in the same place each frame.

Do you have the example to replace the images?

Your viewport would be the thing you want to draw too. Whatever library draw.line() is from, check the documentation about drawing to viewport.
