I am attempting to create a thread which would execute functions from the gfx library. What is happening is that when I run the functions in the main thread everything executes correctly, as soon as I implement this code in a static thread the system hangs. Initially while in normal priority nothing would display, and then when I gave the thread high priority it would display a frame. However after displaying the frame the system hangs and is not capable of taking in touch input. I am unsure of if this is based on the way I am implementing the thread or is it because of what the thread is responsible for (ugfx functions).
Below is my main file which initializes and calls the thread, "mythread".
