Overview
Image Reformer is a utility that converts images into C code for use with MSP430 Graphics Library.
Why Convert?
Most
images are 24 Bits Per Pixel and over 1000 by 1000 pixels. Most
MCU displays are 1, 2, 4 or 8 bits per pixel and sizes range from 96x96
to QVGA (320x240). So in order to display the image a color and
probably a size conversion is usually needed. Additionally, in
order to save image decode time on a low powered MCU, converting the
image to C code makes sense for faster display.
