LCD Assistant
LCD Assistant is a free tool for converting monochromatic bitmaps to data arrays for easy use with programs for embedded systems with microcontrollers and graphics monochromatic LCD displays like a T6963C, KS0108, SED1335 etc. Program create files for use with any C compiler : for AVR, ARM, PIC, 8051 and ohter microcontrollers. You can use directly with Arduino, mbed and any other design environment based on C compiler. If you use graphic LCDs and you want to display pictures, this program is for You! You can draw image in you best graphic editor and save it in *.bmp file.

Online Preview Font Generator Online Preview Font Generatoris a font preview tool that allows you to view online what the font text will look like. To view the Bitmap font, just enter the desired text or characters in the box below: Enter text or characters to generate a font preview. You can customize the Font and Bitmap Generator output with the export format files (.xsl). These files use the XSLT1.0 language known from the web technology. In the installation directory of the Font and Bitmap Generator you find the xsl folder. Inside there are 3 xsl file. One for generating c code, one for html and the third one for xml. Get Adobe Flash player.

To convert image from bitmap file (or other standard graphics file format) to data array select from File menu command 'Load image'. Next, select byte orientation (for example : vertical for KS0108, SED1520, SPLC0501C etc; horizontal for : T6963C, SED1335 etc). If in data array must be image size (width and height) select 'Include size' checkbox and specify endianness of size (for example: Little endian for AVR; Big endian for ST7). Size are placed in two 16-bit variables at the begin of data array. Next, specify pixels/byte parameter. If display can support miscellaneous font size (displays with T6963C controller) image can be converted to array of bytes with specified amount of pixels in each byte. At last select from 'File' menu command 'Save output'. Data array will be saved in specified file. Next, just include this file into project and use array name as parameter for function that displays bitmap on LCD. If you have trouble with use generating file, or program will generate wrong files please let me know.

Need help with XSLT V1.0 conversion.

Very nice, flexible font & bitmap generator!

I have used Frank Vannieuwkerke's transformation file however I would like to create output files that result in uint16_t 16-bit data font files rather than the 8-bit unsigned integer char files it currently provides. I have no previous experience with XSLT transformations however upon studying the architecture, I have learned enough to get me into trouble and stuck only partially meeting my objective. A 16-bit font file structure would reduce overhead processing for my application leaving resources to focus more on other processing requirements instead of assembling 8-bit data into 16-bit font conversions.The schema of the temporary XML file output of the program which the XSL transformation stylesheet would be based upon is here: /media/uploads/dtmort/testxmlout

I can manipulate some of the XSL stylesheet however I am out of my element attempting concatenation of the hexadecimal 'byte' elements into half as many 16-bit 'words' as well as the recursive index generation to match.

Having zero experience with this leaves me at a deficit. Any help is appreciated.
