# FontImageHx

This software can convert installed fonts to binary bitmaps or hexadecimal byte arrays. It was created to simplify the creation of text for monochrome LCDs.

## Quick Guide

1. Select File -> New in Menu

2. Set the font size, etc., then press the Paste ascii button, followed by the OK button.

3. The text set (ascii) in the table is displayed. it can edit by row selection. The left area is updated by pressing Update.

   4. It can export to C-header or Bitmap image from File -> Export.

## Hexadecimal Output

### Horizontal

White in the width direction of a binary image is represented as 1 and black as 0. 8px worth of information is packed into a single byte. If the width is not divisible by 8, it is stored left-justified.

Example

```
5x4 px (WxH)
□■□■□ -> 0x50,
□■□■□ -> 0x50,
□■■■□ -> 0x70,
□□□□□ -> 0x00

12x12 px
□□□□□□□□□□□□ -> 0x00,0x00,
□□□□□□■□□□□□ -> 0x02,0x00,
□□□□■■□■□□□□ -> 0x0D,0x00,
□□□□■□□□■□□□ -> 0x08,0x80,
□□□□■□□□■□□□ -> 0x08,0x80,
□□□□■□□■■□□□ -> 0x09,0x80,
□□□□□■■□■□□□ -> 0x06,0x80,
□□□□□□□□■□□□ -> 0x00,0x80,
□□□□□□□■□□□□ -> 0x01,0x00,
□□□□■■■□□□□□ -> 0x0E,0x00,
□□□□□□□□□□□□ -> 0x00,0x00,
□□□□□□□□□□□□ -> 0x00,0x00
```

### Vertical

The color definition is the same as horizontal, but the orientation of the binary image compression has changed.



Example

```
5x4 px (WxH)
----> 
□■□■□
□■□■□
□■■■□
□□□□□
||||+-> 0x00, (□□□□□)
|||+--> 0xE0, (■■■□□)
||+---> 0x20, (□□■□□)
|+----> 0xE0, (■■■□□)
+-----> 0x00, (□□□□□)


12x12 px
