i'm very sorry for my mixup. what i want is to gnerate an image with some popolar graphic tool (PSP, PhotoShop ...), save it in the PC as a windows BMP file, and then take it to my PC application, which cut the header from the file, and transfer the image data to the palm. so i need to generate the right file size in the PC, which mean 1 bit color = X byte, 2 bit color = 2X byte, 4 bit color = 4X byte i looked at the graphic tools, and i saw they all can make 1/4/8 bit color file (with the right number of bytes), and i need also the 2 bit color file (with 2X byte size). so i asked if there any, and i learned that windows can't support it, than i asked if anyone knows how the bytes are arranged in the image file, so i could take a 4 bit color BMP file with 2 bit colors in it, and remove the unused bytes in my application.
ok ? again sorry for the mixup shay "Tom Zerucha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > On Wed, Sep 13, 2000 at 11:39:36AM +0200, Shay wrote: > > > thanks, i saw that PilRC support this, but i'm looking for an PC > > application, that can save the 2 bmp file in the PC - "x.bmp". > > > i might need to take a 4/8 bit bmp file, and cut the unused bits from the > > file, > > anyone knows what do i need to cut ? > > What you are asking doesn't make sense.
