¹) During the integration into the project the file is converted into an RLE compressed bitmap.
From the CODESYS version 2.3.9.24 an additional dialogue opens when an image is integrated.
Using this dialogue the file is adapted to the Colour palette used for the device. During the colour
conversion you can select between 'most similar colour' (deactivate [Dithering]) and 'Dithering'.
Drawing area:
The left upper corner marks the home position (0,0) of the virtual and physical drawing area.
Virtual drawing area = 2,560 x 1,536 pixels
(enlarges the physical drawing area)
Elements in the virtual drawing area are not calculated.
