Anyway, I just got a Windows app that creates data to display a 2-bit bitmap with the Prop.· Here's my first test:· A full-screen (NTSC) B&W picture of a baby:

    Just to clarify... It's 4-levels of gray. I'm using deSilva's non-interlaced mode on the Parallax LCD with 20 columns, 14 rows of 16x16 characters.
    My Windows app created the user defined characters. I used Photoshop to convert and dither the image.

    Interesting. Can I use it to create icons?

    The main purpose is actually to create small 4-color images. This was just a test...
    I have a web applet that creates single character 2-bit tile data already...
    This app takes any size image and creates the Prop data...
