Hi

I am doing some experiments with STM32F469I-Discovery, in some example with LCD there are images (e.g. life_augmented_argb8888.h).

How is possible convert an image create with Photoshop in code similar to:

const uint32_t image_name[size]

{

0xFFFFFFFF

...

}

It is possible to handle the transparency?

Thank you

You can use basic C File IO (fopen, fread, fclose, etc) to read binary data, and output it in an ASCII format suitable for compilation.

Tools like

do this kind of data translation.

The free GIMP software always had the capability to export images as C code.
