I'm currently in the process of writing a GIF print driver for my Seikosha
color graphics printer. I have examined a GIF spec. form CompuServe and
have a general idea how the images are encoded. What I am still looking for
is a sample GIF file that is *very* simple to use as a test pattern and/or
learning tool. Even better would be a document which uses a tiny GIF as
an example and lays it out byte by byte. From what I read of the spec, the
GIF could be something like 10X10X4. An example could be:
R R R R R R R R R R R = Red
R G G G G G G G G R B = Blue
R G B B B B B B G R G = Green
R G B W W W W B G R W = White (or Black?)
R G B W R G W B G R
R G B W B W W B G R
R G B W W W W B G R
R G B B B B B B G R
R G G G G G G G G R
R R R R R R R R R R
If could help me build a byte by byte GIF file for the above example, or
you know of a tiny GIF which already exists (Hopefully accessable with CIS)
