Bitmap Converter Tool

Converts a Windows bitmap into a C file (for all Graphics Controllers)

Description

The Bitmap Converter tool converts Windows bitmaps (BMP) into C files (more precisely, into Fujitsu GDC color format header files) which can be used in GDC source code directly. The input bitmap must be in True Color format (24 bit-per-pixel) and uncompressed. The maximum number of pixels in an input file is 1,310,720 pixels (i.e. 1280 x 1024 pixels). The output file can be in various formats: 24 bit-per-pixel (RGB888 - for the 'Coral' family and Carmine), 16 bit-per-pixel (RGB555) or indirect color (an 8 bit CLUT). An alpha flag can be set for all pixels. The Bitmap Converter tool supports both big and little endian modes (e.g. for Motorola hardware). The tool also provides a preview function which should be used to verify the correct format of the output. The Bitmap Converter tool can also be used in batch files as a command line application.
