It is common to use IMAG files as a background that is used to clear
the screen between screen updates by leveraging SPORT VRAM -> VRAM
copying. However, due to alignment requirements and needing to read
data off of a CDROM the LoadImage()
function utilizes more resources
than needed. Especially given LoadImage were never expanded to support
anything but 320x240 @ 16bpp LRFORM images.
Having a raw LRFORM file allows the user to load it using LoadFile and saves on resources. See LoadImage's code for more details.
int memflags;
int filesize;
char *image;
char *filename = "image.lrform";
memflags = (MEMTYPE_TRACKSIZE|MEMTYPE_STARTPAGE|MEMTYPE_VRAM);
image = LoadFile(filename,&filesize,memflags);
Any command with an --output-path
option supports templating to make
scripting easier. It uses a currly brace notation such as
{foo}
. Below is a list of supported values per subcommand.
All support:
- {filepath}: Full original input filepath.
- {dirpath}: Parent path of {filepath} if it has one. "." otherwise.
- {filename}: Just the filename without dirpath or extension.
- {origext}: The original filepath's extension. Includes prefixed '.'.
- {ext}: The standard extension for the target file.
- {name}: If supported by the input the internal name for the image. Prefixed with "". Otherwise "".
- {index}: The index of the image if the input had multiple images.
- {index}: The index prefixed with "" if input had multiple images. Otherwise "".
- {w}: Width of the output image.
- {h}: Height of the output image.
- {coded}: "coded" if coded else "uncoded".
- {packed}: "packed" if packed else "unpacked".
- {lrform}: "lrform" if lrform else "linear".
- {_lrform}: "_lrform" if lrform otherwise "".
- {bpp}: The CEL bits per pixel.
- {flags}: CCB flags in hex.
- {pixc}: CCB PIXC/PPMPC in hex.
- {rotation}: "0", "90", "180", or "270"
- {bpp}: Always 16.
