I just received some C++ libraries (Zinc Interface Library)
and they give the programmer the ability to include bitmaps
in their code pretty easily. An example of the format follows:
unsigned short boxBitmap[]=
{
8, // Width
4, // Height
0xFF00, // ******** padded to 16 bits
0x8100, // * *
0x8100, // * *
0xFF00 // ********
};
Does this type of format have a name? Does anyone recognize it
as a "???" bitmap? I'd like to find a utility to do
(xwd | pbm | ras) -> "???"
except I don't know what to look for. Looks very similar
to X bitmaps (except XBM has 8 bit boundaries, instead of 16 bit).
Guess I could go easily from XBM->???, but that would require
some coding. (Why reinvent...?)

Does anyone recognize it I could be mistaken, but they resemble the GET/PUT formats used by both MSC v6.0 and TC 2.?. I wrote a little program which created a .H file containing a PUTable bitmap for TC several months ago, and it output basically this format. (Mine expanded the array a lot, and required some special code to display the correct portion of the bitmap array. brian
