11.11.6.2 Producing a Segment lCD Panel
1) Prepare a bitmap file of an icon for segment LCD.
Although bitmap files can be created with an ordinary paint application, note the following when creating
files:
Number of colors and file format
Set the background to white and create an icon in black. Save data in monochrome bitmap format (.bmp).
* You can read a color bitmap file, but binarization may not complete successfully, in certain cases.
Size
Keep the size of the bitmap file less than 1280 x 1024.
Number of files
You can use several icons produced in several separate bitmap files to create a segment LCD panel in the
LcdUtil17 window. However, since LcdUtil17 offers only simplified editing functions, we recommend
producing one bitmap file.
2) Read a bitmap file.
Start LcdUtil17, and select [Open Bitmap File] from the [File] menu.
Select the bitmap file you created.
A panel editing window will open and display the read bitmap.
3) Edit the icon layout.
Icon condition
Icons can be in one of the following three states.
Black: COM/SEG information not set
Red: COM/SEG information set
Blue: In selected state
Editing icons
You can perform the following operations on a selected icon.
Change of position
Drag with the mouse to move an icon. You can also move an icon from one panel editing window to another
by dragging and dropping.
Cut, Copy
Select the command from the [Edit] menu or click the toolbar button.
