Title: image decoding and OPT_RGB565
Post by: Rudolph on September 03, 2023, 09:33:21 AM

I received an image file to conduct a test with and this image file is a .png.
Long story short, the image gets decoded to ARGB4 and not RGB565.

There is OPT_RGB565 in chapter 5.9:
Decode the source image to RGB565 format - CMD_LOADIMAGE

And the first idea I had was to provide this option in order to make CMD_LOADIMAGE
decode the .png file to RGB565.
But then I saw that the value for the option is actually zero, so this "option" does not actually do anything,
this is just the default value, this is !OPT_MONO.
As I was already using CMD_LOADIMAGE with bit 1 of the options cleared, this "option" OPT_RGB565 has no effect on loading PNG images.

Please consider removing OPT_RGB565 from the table in chapter 5.9.

Hi Rudolph,

Please note that the OPT_RGB565 is for JPEG decode only and not for PNG. Therefore, as you mentioned, it will not work for PNG.

We have added a note about this to the Programmers guide for the next version as it wasn't clear from the current version that it was for JPEG only,

Thanks, we appreciate your feedback,
