Problems with RLE-8 encoded Bitmaps
« on: September 29, 2006, 07:11:16 am »
Good morning,

it's me again.

Yesterday I got a problem until loading "some" bitmaps.
Lazarus showed me the message "RLE-8 encoded bitmaps are not supported".

Does anyone know if the RLE-8 compression be supported in future?

It would make me very happy  :D , because I now have to convert
200 RLE-8 bitmaps  :cry:

I don't know if Lazarus can't but FPImage should be able to read them. See fpreadbmp.pp.

Lazarus can't decode it.

Do you think, I should convert all bitmaps? The problem on it is, that
these bitmaps are in a Win32 - resource file. It means I have to export them, convert them and at least to to create a new Win32 - resource file.

Oh...

Marc, I think the problem is in TLazReaderBMP.InternalReadBody in the IntfGraphics unit.

I don't know what it should do to support RLE encoded bitmaps.

Ummm, maybe you could create a script that call ImageMagick to automate this task.

www.imagemagick.org/

Or a pascal software that calls ImageMagick libraries.

The resource file shouldn't be hard to recreate if you make a .rc file for him, and compile that RC file using Windres GNU Tool that comes with lazarus

Umm, but I'm pretty sure fpreadbmp can read them.
It's stated:  - Support for RLE4 and RLE8 decoding
So why not read them the FPImage way?
Afaik you can transform these to a Lazarus displayable format.
If not, you could at least save them uncompressed to stream/file and load from there instead of using ImageMagick.
