Detailed Description

Sometimes it is desirable to have data represented by C code. This is important when the data should be embedded in a source file for further be compiled into a library or executable.

gcgSaveBMPcode()

bool gcgSaveBMPcode	(	char *	inputname,
		char *	outputname
	)

Saves a windows bitmap image as C code for software embedding.

Parameters

[in]	inputname	name of the bitmap image file to be represented as C code.
[in]	outputname	name of the text file that will receive the C code that represents the bitmap information of inputname. If the file exists it is overwritten (old data is lost).

Returns

true if the input image is a valid bitmap image and the output file is successfully created.

gcgSaveBytesAsText()

bool gcgSaveBytesAsText	(	unsigned int	size,
		unsigned char *	data,
		char *	outputname
	)

Saves a byte array as C code for software embedding.

Parameters

[in]	size	number of bytes contained in the array data.
[in]	data	pointer to the first byte of the array.
[in]	outputname	name of the text file that will receive the code that represents the byte sequence of data. If the file exists it is overwritten (old data is lost).

Returns

true if the file is successfully created.

gcgSaveFloatsAsText()

bool gcgSaveFloatsAsText	(	unsigned int	size,
		float *	data,
		char *	outputname
	)

Saves a float array as C code for software embedding.

Parameters

[in]	size	number of floats contained in the array data.
[in]	data	pointer to the first float of the array.
[in]	outputname	name of the text file that will receive the code that represents the float sequence of data. If the file exists it is overwritten (old data is lost).

Returns

true if the file is successfully created.
