Bitmap File Creation
In addition to fonts, Matrix Orbital graphic displays can also hold a number of customizable bitmaps to
provide further stylistic product integration. Like font files, bitmaps files are most easily uploaded to a
display using MOGD#. However, the critical data component of the bitmap upload command is detailed
below for reference.
The bitmap data block is similar to that of a font. However, as a bitmap is only a single glyph, no header
or table is required. Each bitmap is merely encoded in binary fashion using a series of ones and zeroes.
Again a grid can be created using the width and height specified in the upload command, populated in
the manner above, and converted into byte values. A smiley face example is shown below to indicate
the ultimate affect of the Matrix Orbital graphic stylization ability.
