- WHAT IS IT?
-
- 'GROB File' is a saver module for GVP's ImageFX Image Processing package.
- It allows you to save an image in Hewlett Packard's GROB (GRaphical OBject)
- format, suitable to be downloaded into any of Hewlett Packard's HP48-series
- calculators. If you don't own an HP48(s,sx,g,gx) this program won't do
- anything useful for you.
-
-
- WHAT IT DOES
-
- The saver module is very simple, it looks at the colors of each pixel
- element (red, green, and blue), and if they are all < 125, a pixel is
- created (remember, the HP48 has an on/off LCD screen). Thus, if you load
- your favorite 256-color .gif image and save it as a GROB, it will appear
- very strange and dull on your HP48 screen.
-
- The GROB saver module writes the GROB image out (in ASCII), and also writes
- some code around the image to view it. Thus, you can simply save the
- image, and go DIRECTLY to your terminal program and download the saved file
- to the HP48 for viewing.
-
- The HP48's screen size is 131 x 64 (yes, 131 pixels across), however this
- is not a limit for the GROB saver program.
