6.5 Working with Bitmap Files
Uploading a bitmap is the same as uploading a font file except that the character header information is
not required.
The bitmap file consists of a header followed by the bitmap data. The header format is as follows;
• Placeholder for actual EOF (2 bytes, use 0xFF 0xFF - these bytes will be set to their final value by the
module)
• x size of bitmap (1 byte)
• y size of bitmap (1 byte)
Bitmap data follows with the bits organized vertically from the top left. The last byte may be padded with
zeros.
