<disclaimer> I know I'm looking for help on "System Only" stuff </disclaimer>
I'm converting GIFs to color BitmapTypes, but can't fit GIFs that are bigger than 250
x 250 pixels (or thereabouts) unless I compress them.
But I can't get the compression to work for me. I set up my version 2 bitmap with
flags.compressed = 1 and compressionType = BitmapCompressionTypeScanLine . I use the
ScrCompressScanLine to compress a scan line. But when I try to use WinDrawBitmap, it
dies on the emulator with the "just read directly from memory manager structures".
Probably my fault, but I should ask: is ScrCompressScanLine ok to use with version 2
bitmaps and is compressionType = BitmapCompressionTypeScanLine the right choice?
If anyone wants to suggest a better compression recognized by the blitter and give the
function call / algorithm, I'd love to have it.
And yes, the uncompressed bitmaps do work.
thanks
