Bitmap2LCD encodes tables of constants for example in header files (*.h) for the C compiler in the following format after including a copy of a scripted text file which can be modified in the application :
A default.TXT file example :
#include <avr/pgmspace.h>
const prog_uint8_t [&NAME][] = {
[&WIDTH],
[&HEIGHT],
[&XPOS],
[&YPOS],
Example of a table of constants for a C compiler :
/* Table generated with bitmap2LCD */
/* 21.03.2008 02:56:26 */ -- Date/Time of encoding stamp
#include <avr/pgmspace.h> -- File Header, here for AVR GCC
const prog_uint8_t picDemo [] = { -- [$Name]
128 /*width */, -- [$WIDTH] of bitmap
128 /* height */, -- [$HEIGHT] of bitmap
0 /* pos X */ -- [$XPOS] from top left corner
0 /* pos Y */, -- [$YPOS] from top left corner
0x00 /* ________ */, -- First data and comment
0x00 /* ________ */, ( Data format according to selected
0x07 /* _____### */, paging scheme and orientations )
0x08 /* ____#___ */,
0x7E /* _######_ */,
0x1A /* ___##_#_ */,
0x16 /* ___#_##_ */,
0x0F /* ____#### */,
...n bytes
0x10 /* ___#____ */,
0xE0 /* ###_____ */,
0x00 /* ________ */,
0x00 /* ________ */
}; -- End of the table
/******************/
/* 2048 Bytes */ -- Byte counter comment
/* End of LCD Pattern */
Other output formats ?
An extended table encoding format configuration panel supports tables formats for C, PASCAL, BASIC or Assembler files.
-> The optional constant line prefix ( here for example data. and the choice of 1 , 2 4 or 8 bytes per line
data. 0x0F,0x97,0x16,0xE0
-> hexadecimal format 0xdata or dataH 0x0F .. 0FH
-> the binay format dataB or 0bdata 01100110b .. 0b01100110
Hexadecimal,Binary or Decimal with optional prefix and suffix [ ]+Decimal+[ ]
-> No separator between constants or a <,>
-> End of line char selection <none> <;> or< ,>
-> Assembler or C language comment markers /*abc*/ or <;>
-> Table file ext type <.asm> <.h> <.bas> or <.lib>
Near any assembler or compiler should then "eat" your code without postprocessing...
Remember, the table of constants should be compatible with your own C or assembler function and with the paging sheme system of your specific module embedded LCD controller.
Finding out the right orientation and endianness can lead to a few unsuccessful trials.
