Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to confirm display source data which should be displayed in the stage of a source list by arranging hexadecimal data for display for displaying image data on the screen of a display device and a bit image of the image data in text form, side by side, in the source list. SOLUTION: A bit image text data generation part 105 converts the bit constitution of source data 101 for display to data which can be recognized visually with ease by combining text data of ASCII code representing color information such as 0 to 7. Further, a display hexadecimal data generation part 106 generates hexadecimal data in format matching a display control circuit controlling the display on the screen of the display device. The hexadecimal data are adjusted to the format of the source list. In the source list, the hexadecimal data for display for displaying the image data on the screen of the display device and the bit image of the image data in text form are described, side by side.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 101 denotes BMP data created by a general-purpose graphic editor or the like of a personal computer;
2 is a display data generation device, 103 is the BMP data 1
01 for inputting “01” to the display data generation device 102
A P file input unit 104 is a bit configuration analysis unit for analyzing data such as a bit position, a bit number, and a bit color of the BMP data. A display hex data generator for displaying the BMP data on a display device (not shown); a display software generator for generating the hex data as a text file; Reference numeral 108 denotes a source list output unit.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below. The BMP data 101 is input to the display data generation device 102 via the BMP file input unit 103.

The BMP data 101 is analyzed by the data bit configuration analysis unit 104 following the BMP file input unit 103 for information such as horizontal and vertical bit positions and bit colors of the BMP data. Data is generated for the bit image text data generation unit 105 and the display hex data generation unit 106.

The bit image text data generator 105 sets the bit configuration of the BMP data 101 to “0”.
The text data of the ASCII code indicating the color information such as .about.7 "is combined and converted into data that can be visually easily recognized.

The following display software generation unit 6
In step 07, the display hex data generated by the display hex data generation unit 606 is arranged in a source list format, and finally, the source list output unit 608 outputs the source list as a text file.

Here, the display hexa data generator 6
In order to prepare the display hex data generated in step 06 into a source list format, first, bit image text data is prepared, and then the display hex data is combined.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the source list generated as described above. The hex data for displaying the character "AUTO" shown in FIG. 2 on the screen of the display device (not shown) is shown. Is a data group.

As shown in FIG. 3, at the top of the conventional source list shown in FIG. 8, bits of "auto" represented by "1" and "0" generated by the bit image text data generation unit 105 are displayed. Image text data has been added.

This makes it easy to determine from the source list whether or not the word "auto" is actually displayed on the screen.

Note that "1" and "0" represent color differences, "0" represents black, "1" represents green, and "-".
Or, “•” indicates a transparent portion without color.

Next, the operation of the bit image text data generator 105 will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the operation of the bit image text data generator 105. FIG. 4A is a BMP file analyzed by the data bit structure analyzer 104. The color information of each bit is stored as a two-dimensional array of the horizontal and vertical bit positions.

Next, the color information of each bit stored in the BMP file is compared and collated in the color data conversion table section shown in FIG. 2B, and ASCII used for the corresponding bit image text data is compared. Converted to code.

Here, in the case of the present embodiment, the outline of the character of the BMP data "auto" is black,
The ASCII code "0" corresponding to the black code is selected, and since the inside is green, the ASCII code "1" corresponding to the green code is selected, and these ASCII codes are stored in the corresponding coordinates.

The ASCII code to be converted is "0-7" as bit color data, and a portion without bits, that is,
The transparent part is “-” or “•”.

The color data conversion table is (2)
The input BMP file is converted into a data bit configuration analysis unit 1
It is assumed that the table is rearranged every time according to the number of colors used and the type of color obtained as a result of the analysis in 04.

Next, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the operation of the bit image text data generation unit 105.

In the flowchart, step S1
Is the BM analyzed by the data bit configuration analysis unit 104
A process of searching a bit position (coordinates) of a P file and initializing an (X, Y) counter for indicating a storage position (coordinates) when storing as bit image text data. Here, X represents a horizontal position, and Y represents a vertical position. FIG. 6 shows the relationship between the X and Y counters and the BMP file.

In step S2, (X,
Y) Processing for extracting color information of coordinates indicated by the counter.

Step S3 is a process of comparing and selecting ASCII codes that match the color information extracted in the color data conversion table section of FIG. 4 (2).

Step S4 is a process of storing the selected ASCII code as bit image text data at the position indicated by the (X, Y) counter.

In step S5, the X counter is incremented (counted up). If the value is larger than the final value of the X coordinate of the BMP file, the process returns to step S6. Otherwise, the process returns to step S2 to repeat the processing. In other words, the same operation is repeated until one line is completed.

Step S6 is a process for clearing the X counter.

In step S7, the Y counter is incremented (counted up). If the value is larger than the final value of the Y coordinate of the BMP file, the process is terminated. Otherwise, the process returns to step S2 to repeat the process. That is, the same operation is repeated until the entire screen is completed.

Finally, by processing the coordinates of all the (X, Y) counters, bit image text data as shown in FIG.

[0040]

According to the present invention, conventional hex data for displaying image data on the screen of a display device and a bit image of the image data generated as text are added to the source list to provide a conventional method. In this way, it is possible to confirm the BMP data to be displayed at the stage of the source list, as compared with the case where the bit error of the BMP data cannot be confirmed unless the BMP data is actually displayed on the screen.

As a result, the program can be improved so as not to cause a mistake in the program, and the program development efficiency can be greatly improved.
