Format is any format. which supports pure b/w pixels...pbm for example. Button screens are screens, on which button are drawn, since on screen sizeof of a handfull of pixels (160x80) in this case it is not useful to use windowmanager or XLibs or such to draw on to the screens. The screens are predefined and put onto the LCD when necassary. Indexed mode is a way to store the colors of a picture: True color: Each picture cell (short pixel) contains the bytes of bits defining the absoulte color value for red green and blue (rgb). Indexed mode: Each picture cell contains an index into an array of predefined rgb tripel. Most often, programs which do support only treu color does not understand to export to pure b/w image formats. Programs understanding indexed mode do more often pure b/w... Based on this, what program would you suggest to use, Jake?
