About:
This package was created because I could not find a tool that can be used on UNIX systems to
parse a picture into an array of RGB565 values and save them to a .c or .raw file. Both formats
are used by the UTFT library to display pictures on to a TFT display.
This package includes, but not limited to, an executable which is made to be as identical as possible
to the corresponding tool that is also downloaded with the UTFT library.
Usage:
Supported formats:
The binary tests if the pictures are encoded correctly via magic bytes using ImageType. If the extention is wrong, but the encoding is correct, it will still try to convert the picture.
The exported library is using JuicyPixels to convert incoming
.gif
.png
.jpg / .jpe / .jpeg
.bmp
.tga
and translates every pixel to a RGB565 format, which is a 4 digit hex number.
Library:
The only really reusable library is the Format.RGB565.
It support the conversion from
RGB to RGB565 as (Word8, Word8, Word8) -> Int
Int to Hex as Int -> String
