Awesome Critor! Is it based on Bwang's BMP viewer by the way?

No it is not.
(I would first have asked for his permission)

The display code is based on the demo that was published on TI-Bank a year ago.
I've added some scrolling code and double-buffering.
Levak helped me to add zoom in/out code.

And BMP support was started from scratch and is designed to be very generic
Bwang's was only supporting 24-bits if i remember well.


Please go on telling me about your good/bad BMP experiences with the viewer.
This might be the 1st program I'm going to submit to Ticalc.

Thank you all again.

Strangely, I've got a working 1.75Mb bitmap.
So size doesn't seem to be a problem.

Could you upload that file too?


When you get a reboot, you should try again immediatly.
If it does reboot again, the problem comes from the image.

If it does not, then it was a bug from mViewer or Ndless.


I got some reboots while using mViewer, but they were quite rare and non reproduceable.
I alose got some rare reboots while not using mViewer... (reboots which could then be Ndless related)

I'd like to suggest having it zoom in on the currently scrolled-to spot as well, instead of jumping to the top-left.

Image (PNG format, I converted it to a bmp first with the same software as before):

Ah ok. I'll probably try it tomorrow unless I forget. I will install OS 1.7 anyway to try Ndless. I wonder how great will the original Omnimaga logo (2001) look like on my Nspire screen. ;D

Wow SirCmpwn... that's a huge picture.

The PNG is allready 1.5Mb large...
The 24-bits uncompressed BMP is going to be... bigger! :p


Maybe a malloc did fail...
(any segmentation fault is triggering a reboot on the Nspire)
I suppose I should test for the return of the malloc.

I went for stress-testing, and I got it :)

I've converted your PNG to a 24-bits uncompressed BMP (2.25Mb) using The GIMP.
It works on calc, and it looks very great. My Nspire looks great, thanks to you!

Maybe you had less available RAM than me...
Or maybe there was a difference in the file again.

I'll try to install Paint.net tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Sounds good, and you're welcome for the epic pics :)
Can you attach the bmp to a post here, so I can try it, too?

Here's the BMP.
It worked on my calc, so it should work on yours... after a reboot in the worst case (RAM cleared).

We should take a memorial photo after cleaning the screen :p

Thanks.  Also, in your source code, you have browse.c which exposes chooseFile(char*, char*).  This returns an int.  What is represented by that int?

It just indicates if the choice was validated (enter key with a file selected) or cancelled (esc key).
It's like a basic "ok/cancel" borwsing dialog box.

Ah, I see.  Also, given file and dispHex(char), the following should display the first 5 bytes, correct?
Code: [Select]
file = fopen(path, "rb");
clrScr();
resetConsole();
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
fread(currentByte, 1, 1, file);
dispHex(currentByte);
}

That's odd, because it means that all of my files on my Nspire have five zeros to start them.
