Welcome to xbpp-img2array 👋

Python script to convert any type of image to C header array of bytes for EPaper display in multiple bit per pixel mode.

What is it?

HD EPaper display with small microcontroller uses a lot of memory. Some displays can be used with less than 1 byte per pixel. In this case images cost less memory. This script converts any image to C header array of bytes for EPaper display in multiple bit per pixel mode (1, 2, 4 or 8 bits). It can be used with IT8951 library.

Dependencies

• The convert command is not available on Windows. You have to install ImageMagick
• Any version of Python 3.x
• Pillow

pip install Pillow

Usage

python img2array.py TYPE IMG_WIDTH IMG_HEIGHT IMG1_FILE_PATH IMG2_FILE_PATH ...

• TYPE can be 1bpp, 2bpp, 4bpp or 8bpp
• IMG_WIDTH and IMG_HEIGHT are the width and height of the output image in pixels
• IMGX_FILE_PATH are the paths to the image files. Batch processing is supported.
