 How to convert BMP pictures to C file for GLCD?

Hi!
In the demo LCD Blinky from my MCB1700 evalboard the pictures are stored in c files e.g. Bg_16bpp_t_fh_fv.c. Anybody knows how to create a c file from my picture?
Best regards

I use an excel spreadsheet to generate the data value and then copy them back to my C program.

 RE: Excel??

Do you really use Excel to read a graphics file?!

Although Excel is great for computing data values to go into tables, etc, I think there must be better ways to read graphics files?!

try googling "convert BMP to C source" or similar...

Hi!
I used several converter programs but unfortunately the generated output files are different from the output in the example or the bmp file can't be loaded.

 RE: the generated output files are different

In what way are they "different"?

Is the difference significant?

 RE: the generated output files are different

The differences are:
- number of bytes in the output file
- notation of the bit informations 0x01 0x0123
- number of maximal colors in the picture (depth 1/4/16/24)

Write a c-program, open the bmp-file and convert it to what you want,
open another file and write the image into that new file.
