BUG FIX, NEW FEATURES, MINOR UPDATES

• Add support for *.png in img2ppk graphical interface

INFORMATION

• Input bitmap characteristics:
  • *.bmp
  • 800 X 600 pixels
  • RGB, 24bits
  • 16 millions colors

• Output ppk characteristics

  • *.ppk
  • 800 X 600 pixels
  • grey colors, 4-level

• Note for .bmp: So after the .bmp image conversion, the rendering of the output image .ppk may be degraded. In case the input bitmap image does not match 800 X 600 pixels, the conversion is resizing the image by keeping the image ratio

• Note for .png: the conversion is not supported so the required format for the input image is 800x600 px

For more information about how to display an image on a SLATE106, refer to SLATE106 user manual.

COMPATIBILITIES

• MS-Windows 7, MS-Windows 10
