This tool is intended to convert normal bitmaps into BGC files. The BGC format is the '''B'''ascom '''G'''raphic '''C'''olor Format. This is a special RLE compressed format to save space. The SHOWPIC statement can display graphic bitmaps. The color display uses a special RGB8 format. The LCD converter has the task to convert a normal windows bitmap into a 256-color RGB8 coded format. When you run the tool you will see the following window : [[File:Rgb8-converter.png]] You can use File , Open, to load an image from disk. Or you can use Edit, Paste, to paste an image from the clipboard.

The Output TAB, has an option : Save as RLE. This must be checked. By default it is checked. When you do not want the image to be RLE encoded, you can uncheck this option. The bottom area is used to store the DATA lines. The Color TAB shows the effect on the table inside the color display. When a picture uses a lot of different red colors, you can put the most used into the table. It is well explained in the manuals from display3000. By clicking on the color , you can view which colors are used by the picture. You can match them with the color table.
