stockbook
Stockbook embeds 1-bit raster images in your code at compile time.
Designed primarily for #![no_std]
usage, in embedded or other program-memory-constrained environments. Compatible with avr-progmem
.
[dependencies]
stockbook = "0.3.0
The main functionality of Stockbook is the stamp!
macro, which lets you include data similarly to how include_bytes!
does, but from an image, specifically a 1-bit black and white image. The macro returns a Stamp
type, which just holds the image's width, height, and a static reference to the pixel data. The pixel data is represented internally as an array of bytes, in which individual bits correspond to individual pixels.
Example
File assets/star.png
(scaled x8 for preview, originally 12x12 px):
File src/lib.rs
:
use stockbook::{stamp, Color, Stamp};
static STAR_SPRITE: Stamp = stamp!("assets/star.png");
pub fn draw_star() {
for (x, y, color) in STAR_SPRITE.pixels() {
match color {
Color::Black => {}, // Treat as transparent
Color::White => draw_pixel_at(x, y),
}
}
}
fn draw_pixel_at(x: usize, y: usize) {
/* ... */
}
Supported formats
Stockbook uses the image crate under the hood. See its own list of supported formats for more details.
Feature flags
progmem
— wraps all pixel data ofStamp
s inavr_progmem::wrapper::ProgMem
s. Combined with theavr
target architecture, this allows you to keep most of the data in program memory without the need to copy it to RAM. A no-op for non-avr
target architectures.
Unstable features
Although this library works on stable
, any changes to images referenced by the stamp!
macro might not be detected because of caching. Therefore, until track_path
API (Tracking Issue) stabilizes, it is recommended to use the nightly
toolchain, however functionality behind this feature is unstable and may change or stop compiling at any time.
