Not sure of what your asking do you mean screen size in inches/mm or pixels?

Pixels i think it is: 130x130 but not sure... i read:

"The Nokia 6100 display has 132 x 132 pixels; Practically speaking, you cannot see the first and last row and columns."


And from sparkfun website:

Frame Dimensions: 1.35x1.58"
Active Display Dimensions: 1.2"x1.2"

hey thanks for that question. I fixed a nice bug thanks to you. There was a overflow of pixels i didnt notice. But now you save a few hundred bytes on a full 132x132 image. Also you have to start on 1x1 not 0x0 for full images

You might want to try to implement a very simple compression, like Run Length Encoding or LZW. It won't work with complex images, but the basic images could be compressed quite a bit, so you would need to be able to turn it off and on.

heh i dont think im smart enough to do any compression but i think it would infact save a lot of space. For the full sized images especially is mostly 1 color.

RLE seems quiet simple. I might use it.. Thanks for that. I'll check the other one now too

Yes, RLE is really simple and it's easier to decode than encode, which is helpful. It's just that if your image gets too random the file can end up getting larger than the original rather than smaller. It would be easy enough to figure that out and just have the option not to use it in those instances, though.

No problem Bryan.

Mark I this it would be simple to use the the 3rd byte of image data to test if RLE is on. I already use byte 1 and 2 for width and height. RLE should be simple in VB. Decompressing in a pic should also be simple I'll try it after work.

If I get get sd stuff working it would help even more.

I made some menu icons yesterday I'll take some pictures today and show everyone.
