This application converts BMP bitmaps to an optimized format of the HMI
Embedded.
The program has the following parameters:
BMP2BIN BMPfile colTab
Explanation of parameters:
BMPfile
colTab
Please proceed according to the instructions in Subsection 7.2.3 "Procedure with
HMI Embedded/HT6".
The procedure described for conversion and archiving is applicable for all
display images in HMI Embedded/HT6.
With HMI Embedded/WIN32, partial binary or BMP files (unpacked or compressed)
can be processed. HMI Embedded can process packed or unpacked BMP files.
The colors are converted online. For this the files containing the color table
(syscol.col, sysbw.col, etc.) have been extended to include the [BMP] section. This
section allocates a color of a BMP pixel to a color of the HMI.
Unconverted display images
Bitmaps can be incorporated into displays that have been configured using the
Expand user interface tools.
Although it is possible to introduce unconverted images, we strongly recommend
that you convert the BMP images offline using the BMP2BIN application (see
above, application disk), as this accelerates output considerably.
Preconditions
The display images must have been saved in 16-color mode.
256-color bitmaps are also supported. You will find the corresponding color table in
Section 8.2. "Color table".

Name of the BMP file (wildcards can be used)
Name of the color file with color conversion table.
This file can be used to assign a color of a BMP pixel
to a color in HMI Embedded. However, this is
only possible for 16-color bitmaps.
For 256 color bitmaps, a color file cannot be transferred.
Structure of the color file (example):
[BMP]
