Bitmap
The bitmap mask element makes it possible to display
graphics in the EZD display that you have made yourself or
have purchased. Display and visibility can change during
operation. To do this, you need to associate the bitmap
graphics with Boolean variables.
EZSoft supports the following bitmap graphic formats:
• Windows Bitmap format (bmp),
• JPEG format (jpg),
• Tiff format (tif) and
• Icons (ico).
The formats are converted to monochrome format using
suitable conversion procedures and then saved accordingly in
the program. The size and position of the bitmap graphic can
be modified later in the Mask Editor.

Bitmap graphics require a large amount of memory.
Overlaid bitmaps are also stored fully in the memory. The
more bitmaps are used use, the more the cycle time will be
increased considerably due to the additional memory
requirement. This may possibly lead to program
malfunctions (e.g. loss of count pulses).
Black and white graphics should be used ideally. These
should be between 16

16 and 32
×
32 pixels in size.
