Hi Tomas,

the short answer first: there is no easy way. Sorry. You should consider
having a network server/proxy converting them to simple bitmaps or something
the Palm can trivially display.

The longer answer: I added libPNG to my cross-platform project and was a bit
disappointed to see that even with plenty of options turned down it compiled
into 96K of code. While I'm quite confident it can be done (and I remember
reading on libPNG's page there are some Palm OS applications using it) it's
outside the scope of what I wanted to do myself. I'd start by downloading
the source for both zlib and libPNG (the latter needs the former) and seeing
if it's possible to port them. It's a fair bit of custom code, though, so be
prepared to get your hands dirty.


Cheers,

Jouni

Subject: PNG pictures

Hi,
I'm porting one of my applications to various platforms. I've decided also
for Palm but I have a small problem. I'm receiving PNG files through network
and I need to display them. How can I do it?

Is there any library for that purpose? It seems to me that it (display PNG
picture) is pretty common thing and I cannot believe that it is not possible
on PalmOS platform.

thanks for any hints/tips/examples

Tomas
