Bellow is a pilRC snipit of a random bitmap from our source code..
It creates a Bitmap with an ID FolderBitmapFamily,
It contains a high-denisity(320x320 screen size) 8-bit colour btmap for
more recent OS5 devices,
a 16-bit & 8-bit colour low-density (traditional 160x160) bitmaps
as well as 4/2/1 bit grey scale/B&W bitmaps.
PilRC loads normal windows bitmaps and will do the approriate conversion
to create the palm bitmap
BITMAPFAMILYEX ID FolderBitmapFamily
BEGIN
BITMAP "Tbmp03E8-8-d144.bmp" BPP 8
TRANSPARENTINDEX 204 DENSITY 2
BITMAP "Tbmp03E8-16.bmp" BPP 16
TRANSPARENT 0 255 0
BITMAP "Tbmp03E8-8.bmp" BPP 8
TRANSPARENTINDEX 210
BITMAP "Tbmp03E8-4.bmp" BPP 4

BITMAP "Tbmp03E8-2.bmp" BPP 2

BITMAP "Tbmp03E8-1.bmp" BPP 1

Thank you for your reply Neil.
I think I understand what you are explaining. Although I am not sure how to use
PilRC to create the resource database.
How do the .rcp files look like? I had a look at the examples and tried reading
the manual... but I am slightly confused. All I want is to put a few bitmaps
into the file.
Would I use this:
BITMAP [<ResType.s>] ID <ResId.n> [LOCALE <Locale.s>]
[<BitmapCompression>...]
BEGIN
BITMAP <Filename.s> BPP <Depth.n> [<BitmapAttribute>...] [DENSITY <Density.n>]
...
END
?
If so would my rcp file just contain something like:
BITMAP ID 12345
BEGIN
BITMAP somefile/name.bmp BPP 16
END
If I just required one bitmap?
Sorry for my ignorance.
Thanks for your time.
