Action

Shows a BGF file stored in EEPROM on the graphic display

 

 

Syntax

SHOWPICE x, y , label

 

 

Remarks

Showpice can display a converted BMP file that is stored in the EEPROM of the micro processor. The BMP must be converted into a BGF file with the Tools Graphic Converter.

 

The X and Y parameters specify where the picture must be displayed. X and Y must be 0 or a multiple of 8. The picture height and width must also be a multiple of 8.

 

The label tells the compiler where the graphic data is located. It points to a label where you put the graphic data with the $BGF directive.

You can store multiple pictures when you use multiple labels and $BGF directives,

 

Note that the BGF files are RLE encoded to save code space.
