Questio Regarding Graphics LCD on EP3C120F780C7

Good Day;

i have a EP3C120F780C7. On board, there are 2 lcds, the character LCD and the graphics LCD, i am interested in controlling the graphics LCD, displaying some pictures on it. But i am not sure how can i go about displaying the picture.

Being a newbie in learning FPGA, i would like to seek help. I understand that there are usually the common pins for lcds which is: address pins [7..0], enable pin, reset pin, write enable pin and read enable pin and data/command pin. As i am using the SOPC builder to build the block, there is not an avilable option in the component list that mentions graphics lcd, only the character lcd list is avilable. Without that option, i was thinking would it be possible to just create PIOS to represent the pins instead. If so could anyone please guide me. If not does anyone know of any free IP components that i might be able to import.

Next does anyone have any example files on the C programing list to communicate withe graphics LCD. Thank you

The graphics LCD is manufactured by Optrex. Optrex F-51852GNFQJ-LG_ACN
