raoulduke_esq posted an AWK script a while back which works with ASCII PBMs. I run this using cygwin and I've found it works well enough. I don't have time to search for it in the group posts, so here it is:
# This script will take an ASCII PBM B&W file and convert it to a series # of "DS" (Draw Segment) statements in PCBNEW syntax. The deltaX and deltaY # is defined in "step" which is in uints of 1/10 mil. The layer is currently # set to 21, the component layer silkscreen. Swap bg & fg based on whether # black or white is the foreground. # # State 0 : look for magic number - must be P1 (can be P4 for raw file) # State 1 : look for height & width # State 2 : process data # State 3 : done with data - skip the rest # BEGIN { state = 0; step = 40; layer = 21; fg = "1"; bg = "0"; } {if (NR == 1) { state = 1; if ($1 != "P1") { printf("Must supply an ASCII PBM image file\n"); exit 1 } next; } } /^#/ { next } # Comment line, skip it {if (state == 1) { width = $1; height = $2; buff = ""; state = 2; Y = - ((step * height) / 2); initX = - ((step * width) / 2); next; } } {if (state == 2) { buff = buff $1; if (length( buff ) >= width) { scanline = substr( buff, 1, width ); buff = substr( buff, width + 1 ); Y += step; X = initX; while ( Z1 = index( scanline, fg )) { scanline = substr( scanline, Z1 ); Z2 = index( scanline, bg ); if (Z2 == 0) Z2 = length( scanline ) + 1; scanline = substr( scanline, Z2 ); Z1 = step * Z1 + X; Z2 = step * Z2 + Z1 - 2 * step; X = Z2; printf( "DS %d %d %d %d %d %d\n", Z1, Y, Z2, Y, step, layer ); } height--; if (height == 0) state = 3; } } } {if (state == 3) { nextfile; }} Instructions: Step 1: Generate an ASCII PBM file - I use GIMP. A monochrome (black and white) image will be represented by a file full of "0" and "1". Call it something like "art.pbm". Step 2: Run the ASCII PBM file "art.pbm" through the following awk script and put the output into a file, call it "art.out": awk -f ConvertPBM.awk pic.pbm > art.out Step 3: Create a module library with a single component, call it something like "Logo". The library will be called "Logo.mod". Step 4: Edit the module library "Logo.mod", look for the $EndMODULE line, and copy the contents of "art.out" immediately before it. Save the file. Step 5: Edit the module library and move things around, add the module name, etc. Step 6: In PCBnew, add the module from the library and place it where you want. Regards, Robert.
