what software was used to convert image to HEX

MNapi · ‎2020-08-18

I tried just almost anything the best I get some black shape of a red button I ma trying to display. here is a top of the code from the "h"file. Does anybody recognize it. What converter to use ?

This is the original "h" file made by ST for their demo programs.

#ifndef __IMAGE_320x240_ARGB8888_H

#define __IMAGE_320x240_ARGB8888_H

#ifdef __cplusplus

extern "C" {

#endif

const uint32_t image_320x240_argb8888[76800] =

{

0xFF254888,

0xFF264989,

I would use XnView & HxD:

Open your image
Menu: Image->32bits
Save as "RAW" format and before click "Save" you have to click "option" and set "ARGB".
Open HxD
Open the raw image
Export as C file.

It should do the trick.

do you mean this program https://www.xnview.com/en/

I do not see the option to choose 32 bit but you can save raw data in ARGB

there is no Menu: Image->32bits

I do not know what you mean by HxD

I am not sure if I read your instructions right.

Yes Xnview image viewer.

HxD: https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

32 bits pixel mode should be activated as per following image, I set it to set 0xFF as default alpha value, or you'll get 0 as default, I think.

you must have older version this option is not available in 2.49.3, there is nothing in options, properties, view to add extra tool bar

It is because you have not opened an image in the editor, you are showing the browser.

You have to click File=>Open and select a picture, or select one on the left in the browser.

The 32bits option appears only when a picture is opened.

I did as instructed, I did the 32 bit image, then I open raw image in HxD export as C, and this is what i get

unsigned char rawData[31000] = {

0xFF, 0xFF, 0xF1, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFB, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFD, 0xFF, 0xFE,

0xFF, 0xFC, 0xFF, 0xF8, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xF8, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFE, 0xFB,

0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFD, 0xFE, 0xFF, 0xFA, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xF7, 0xF8, 0xFD,

it does not look like the from ST. the ST looks like 32 bit

const uint32_t image_320x240_argb8888[76800] =

{

0xFF254888,

0xFF264989,

this is the code from ST examples I am trying to use,

CopyBuffer((uint32_t *)image_data_red_button, (uint32_t *)LAYER0_ADDRESS, 240, 160, 155, 50);

but maybe we can try to get this one working instead

BSP_LCD_DrawBitmap(240, 160, (uint8_t *)image_data_red_button);

SP_LCD_DrawBitmap(uint32_t Xpos, uint32_t Ypos, uint8_t *pbmp)

whatever I try to convert the image, nothing works

The best I am getting is black button, I cannot get color red.

I follow your instruction I get this code

[31000] = {

0xFF, 0xFF, 0xF1, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFB, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFD, 0xFF, 0xFE,

0xFF, 0xFC, 0xFF, 0xF8, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xF8, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFE, 0xFB,

0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFD, 0xFE, 0xFF, 0xFA, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xF7, 0xF8, 0xFD,

I replace the original ST code with it

I use

CopyBuffer((uint32_t *)image_data_red_button, (uint32_t *)LAYER0_ADDRESS, 240, 160, 155, 50);

to dispaly and I get black button ,no color.

Ok, HxD doesn't output 32 bits format text, only 8bits. I thought it could do that.

I suggest to write a small C program to open the raw file and output 32bits text,

and copy result in the array.
