SYNOPSIS

       directfb-csource [options] <imagefile>

DESCRIPTION

       directfb-csource is a  small  utility  that  reads  a  PNG
       (Portable  Network  Graphics)  image  file and generates C
       code that can be used to compile the image into a DirectFB
       application. The example below illustrates this.

OPTIONS

       --name=identifier
              Specifies the identifier name (prefix) for the gen­
              erated variables.  If this option is not used,  the
              identifier is generated from the filename.

       --format=pixelformat
              Specifies  the pixel-format of the generated inline
              surface. Possible values are  ARGB,  RGB32,  RGB24,
              RGB16,  RGB15, RGB332, A8 and LUT8.  By default the
              format is ARGB if the PNG image has an alpha  chan­
              nel or RGB32 otherwise.

       --version
              Output version information.

       --help Print brief help and exit.

EXAMPLE

       Generate a header file from a PNG image file:

            directfb-csource --name=foo foo.png > foo.h

       Include  the generated header in your application and cre­
       ate a surface  using  the  surface  description  from  the
       header file:

         #include <directfb.h>
         #include "foo.h"

         IDirectFB        *dfb;
         IDirectFBSurface *surface;
