I saw a code in "http://oasis.palm.com/dev/kb/samples/docs/1412/Signature++-1.zip"; which converts Palm bit map to windows bitmap. File is SignatureConduit.cpp, function is WriteOutBitmap. This does quite lot of things. Looking at the code I plan to try following algorithm.
Read the Bitmap from palm. save this to a file on windows. Open the file. Read header part and determine width, row bytes. Read remaining part of palm bit map. While reading convert this into BigEndian format. Write bitmap header, bitmap info, color table and actual bitmap data. My code (263 lines) now writes some vague characters into windows bitmap. I am sort of struck here. Can I post it here? regards Jayan Zack Shenkle wrote: >I'm not sure about Palm to Windows bmp converstion, but if you use Code >Warrior, you can go to Metrowerks\CodeWarrior for Palm OS Platform >7.0\Thrill Seekers\PilRC CW Plugin\PilRC CW Plugin Source\PilRCSrc and among >all the C and H files there should be a file called bitmaps.c.
