Title: Picture from computer to calc
Post by: squidgetx on November 23, 2010, 07:03:57 pm
hey ppls;

If I have a 96x64 image on my computer, how can I get either:

A: the hex
or
B: a full 96x64 TIOS picture file

Thanks in advance :)

You can get both with SourceCoder (http://sc.cemetech.net/) (since it converts images too now).

The image has to be GIF, PNG, or BMP, though.

Write a program for it.  Unless you use some program (Which is slipping my mind right now. Something about Grayscale) that converts it for you.  I don't think TI's program does the 64th row.

Or I could just get ninja'd.

I recommend Tokens :)

Yep, Tokens can convert image files too.

For online stuff, I like SourceCoder because it converts image files to 8XI and also shows you the binary and hex for the pic, which you can just copy-and-paste straight into an editor. It doesn't accept JPG files, but there's http://ti.zewaren.net/en/83i-8xi-creator.php for those. This one seems to mess up the last column, though (not the last row, the last column).

That looks awesome! Ever try finding the hex of a grayscale full-screen image by hand? ;D

Deep Thought: Lol, I haven't and I don't plan on ever doing it ;)

No, lol, I suck at that.  :o
btw, is that a 3 lvl phoenix?  :o

It is indeed 3lvl: although I told photoshop to make it 4, it came up with this. That's fine with me though; I assume it will save me a couple bytes or something not having to use 4 lvl gray

Heh, it looks good enough. Plus, the grays'll be better on-calc with only three shades. Good mistake :thumbsup:

Indeed ^^

Back then  I used Image Studio, but it truncated the last column, for some reasons, even if TI supported it. Not sure why the author of Image Studio did that....

TI-Connect also converts image, but it strips the last row instead...

Ok, thanks everyone. I'm going to go with Tokens for this though; I love how it can export to the picvars Pic10 through Pic255 ;D. If Kerm happens to be reading this, I have a bug report; this picture failed to convert correctly ???

And yes, I realize that I spelled my own name wrong >.<

just wondering: why is it named gray if it's a mono version?
anyways, i rather like it! if you're still looking for image editing there are plenty of helpful(and even more unhelpful) tools in ticalc's win/graphics section as well.

It's the gray part of the image: I had already separated the colors in Photoshop before I realized that Sourcecoder can convert grayscale images :P (Can Tokens do this as well?)

You might want to report this in his Cemetech thread, though, as he doesn't have much time to check over here.

I also need to ask him if he can implement grayscale interlacing/dithering to create the checkered pattern/scanlines in the same way Nitacku grayscale package did. That might be very handy for Doors CS7/xLIB programmers (unless DCS already supports grayscale?)

I agree with DJ, in cemetech report to Kermm :)
