Re: [kicad-users] Re: Bitmap2kicad
The image2module feature in JavE does not depend on any fonts at all. All it does is converting bitmap-images to kicad-pads.

Thanks Ross Bell Hi Ross, If you are wanting to put logos on the schematic or PCB that are defined in bitmaps, I think what you need is the new included tool bitmap2component. It's a command line tool. This was introduced in the bzr2393 development release, but I don't believe it hasn't made it into the stable release yet, so if you want to try it out, you'll have to build KiCad from the development sources. The easiest way to obtain these is to check out a copy from the Launchpad repository using the Bazaar source control tool, which you'll obviously have to install. You'll also need all the KiCad dependencies like wxWidgets, Boost, and also the Cmake makefile tool. I do this routinely now on Linux since the rate of development progress is now so fast, but I've not managed to successfully build it on Windows yet. Magnus Beischer used to host nightly-build binaries, but I've just checked, and they've not been updated recently, so unless you can find another host, you'll have to build it yourself. You can of course build the Windows version on Linux too, but I've not tried this yet. bitmap2component was initially only available on Linux, but I don't know whether this has changed. Hope this helps. Regards, Tony

If you give it a try, please post feedback :) I know this is *not* what he wants (ie. bitpmap to...), but I'd just mention I've been workign on a PostScript-to-module script. It's not complete, but does enough for my current needs. http://staff.not.iac.es/~rcardenes/hgwebdir.cgi/pstomod/ Anybody interested in further development? :?
