Nice, I'll have to try this eventually.

By the way what does RGB/BGR? I only think of red-green-blue, but the Nspire is grayscale so I am a bit confused...

The screen does not support colors, but the LCD controller does.
So the LCD controller takes standard colors values in RGB OR BGR format.

Here is mviewer2 beta build 2.


Clearing code (when zooming out) has been optimized in order to clear only a box (although you'll probably won't notice any speed improvement, as I have to wait for the screen...).

I've added the parsing image progress in the top right hand corner, as you've asked for.


Remaining minor bugs:
* strange zoom in some situations
* the contrast delay is causing problems when in 31 gray levels mode
* when going back to the 16 gray levels mode, display mode is not reset to RGB: you may end in BGR mode and so get a slightly darker image, until the next time you press 'C'


You may get a new release before the end of the week.


Todo list:
* develop a "safest" way of waiting for the screen
* test 31 gray levels mode, by changing the screen base pointer, instead of switching between RGB and BGR.
* test modes with more than 31 gray levels
* change internal data from 16-bits to indexed 8-bits
* include PNG support
* include JPEG support
* include GIF support
* iinclude PDF support

Nice. By the way, can those pictures be integrated in games?

By taking my code and recompiling, yes.
As I'm "waiting" for the screen most of the time, the CPU is available if something has to be done while the image is displayed.

I don't know if it is possible without including my source and compiling: for example, I don't know if it is possible for a Ndless program to launch another Ndless program, and go on once the program has ended.

Ah ok, well I meant a 31 level grayscale one like the ones generated with Critor's program. Thanks for the info.

PNG support sounds cool. Nice update Critor.

I'm trying to make program ports easier.
I would be interested by the list of missing include files and functions to see how they could be added to Ndless.
May be you could share your patched version once ready (or even if you give up and stop working on it), I could just "diff" it with the orignal version.

On a side note I would recommend to not double-post when there have been less than a few hours between your last reply (if it's the last one) or 1 hour when it's a project update, since on english forums, people tend to not like that (unlike on french ones). In that case it's best to use the edit button. Otherwise I recommend a topic bump, though, else your update will be missed.
