I see you even implemented opacity as parameter as bonus, nice!
11:20

i have screenshot of the other image (navigation icon) , football's image is little bit messed up
11:20
se6ast1an
sure, other image screenshot would also be nice
11:21
BAndiT1983
how was the conversion done?
11:24
BAndiT1983
could you also add a description of used drawing algorithm, please. am seeing 3 loops and am wondering why the third one is required
11:26
BAndiT1983
what could also improve the readability is the use of a formatter, we already have clang-format settings included in our repo

is the black border in the image? or do you draw it additionally? as for icons we want to be able to have them without background

11:31
DevendraKharolia
<BAndiT1983 "could you also add a description"> It's similar to DrawIcon function
11:31
BAndiT1983
maybe, but what is the prupose of the third loop
11:33
DevendraKharolia
<BAndiT1983 "is the black border in the image"> I draw it to see the icon clearly, border can be removed
11:35
BAndiT1983
ok, sounds plausible, but it would be also interesting to see it against other backgrounds, like menu gray or white
11:37
DevendraKharolia
<BAndiT1983 "ok, sounds plausible, but it wou"> sure, I will add the screenshot for that too

As, I had mentioned last week, 2 bit image drawing was working properly when we converted the svg to xbm( it is worked fine for images that i was converting to 4 indexed c array using online tools provided in task description)
17:02
eppisai
so sebastian had suggested, we need to optimize the conversion process, So i read about what could be wrong, tried other ways, but had no luck..
17:03
eppisai
So,at last i read and found that xbm is a monochrome ,black and white format hence can't be used in 2 bit image. I searched for the alternative to xbm, but alernatives i found weren't storing data in binary (but ascii).
17:04
eppisai
sebastian and BAndiT1983 come up with the approch on how to have conversion that involes extension of icon.h and another pytho script for templating, so i was just trying to write the script

Hi
17:07
BAndiT1983
hi
17:07
eppisai
matplotlib can't be used for manipulation of vector graphics, so, using other tools to open svg,then using matplotlib,to convert the img to 2 bit c array (conversion process was there in resorces )
17:08
BAndiT1983
eppisai: i would suggest to check the methods again, as matplotlib is not required and there are better libs for it
17:08
BAndiT1983
have in fact written a small prototype, so you can align with me to get an idea how to approach that topic, we can do it after meeting here, so other also see it
17:08
eppisai
ohk! great! :)
17:09
eppisai
thanks BAndiT1983!
17:09
BAndiT1983
no problem

Shohei: any news from your side?
17:11

Bertl
eppisai: note that ImageMagick does a nice job converting svg to bitmaps
17:12
Shohei
Hopefully, I'm going to finish it these two weeks.

17:15
Shohei
That's all from my side.
17:15
Shohei
Thank you.
17:16
eppisai
Bertl, I haven't tried to convert it with imagemagick, But i am very much familer with magick..so will explore! :)
17:16
se6ast1an
thanks Shohei!
17:16
BAndiT1983
imagemagick does not give the desired output, so we have opted for python, ass we need processing there

BAndiT1983: but if the python ode can deal with pixel images (bitmaps) already vector graphics can be converted to pixels first (maybe dowscaled first for increased sharpness)
17:18
se6ast1an
BAndiT1983: do you also want to share news?
17:18
BAndiT1983
my code is converting from SVG to image already, so it's very well possibler
17:18
BAndiT1983
yep, can do
17:18
BAndiT1983
was mostly fiddling around with the SAME70 MCU and am getting quite nice results there, am planning to port the remote firmware to it
17:19
BAndiT1983
trying to understand it's registers for USB, but already getting right logs regarding the SETUP packet
17:19
BAndiT1983
additionally we, me and se6ast1an, were fixing some small mistakes in the BOM and adjusting the script for cross-checks and verification
17:19
BAndiT1983
that would be it

today me and metal_dent[m] participated in a live stream event called spring of code and did a project presentation there and answered questions regarding GSoC and contributing : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHhdlwS6fUc
17:22
se6ast1an
regarding hardware production the last remaining parts that tele ordered should have arrived today or tomorrow at the latest, so prodcution start should really be very soon eventually now
17:22
se6ast1an
there are some efforts to build an open hardware stereo3d rig (fabian puttinger emailed us some time ago)
17:23
se6ast1an
as efforts to get a real stereo 3d mirror rig are still hampered by covid I now started to do research online and hope for more people to join in
17:23
se6ast1an
message me if this is interesting for you
17:24
se6ast1an
I think thats it from my side
17:24

Bertl ?
17:24
Bertl
well, I spent my time on reworking Beta hardware
17:25
Bertl
mostly cleaning and testing the boards we got from Felix as well as what we have in the 'original' remote Beta
17:26
Bertl
the planned ZIF SFE didn't work out so far, there are some unknown issues, but I'm confident that we can figure this out
17:26

other than that, not much which was done this week
17:27

Hi,BAndiT1983 are you using Pillow module for python script? I was thinking of using it(PIL) or openCV but resorted with matplotlib..
17:34
Cscar
Not yet. Scheduled for tomorrow. Troubles with the pickup again.
17:35
BAndiT1983
eppisai: PIL is also used, but it depends what is required (have checked some ways in the prototype), for SVG there is e.g. cairosvg
17:38
eppisai
oh.. can you share your prototype, or the process on how you have done it? :)
17:39
BAndiT1983
prototype cannot be shared currently, as it's a challenge for the students to develop some conversion process and to describe how it improve our current one
17:40
BAndiT1983
but the process is simple, load SVG, convert bit depth to the required one and use a template file to output a .h file with image data and additional icon info
17:41
BAndiT1983
cairosvg already has svg2png(), so everything else shouldn't be a big problem
17:41
BAndiT1983
haven't finished the prototype yet, as it was just a quick shot
17:43
eppisai
:DThanks! was using svgutils now, but again will evaluate the approch to check if matplotlib is even needed or other modules that i can use to work directly with svg.. :)
17:44
BAndiT1983
matplotlib is used for different things, so not sure it is helpful at all
17:45
BAndiT1983
svgutils doesn't seem to convert from SVG to pixel array or similar, so it's probably also not suitable
17:47
Cscar
Have to go! 'See' you all!
17:47
se6ast1an
bye Cscar!
17:47

17:48
BAndiT1983
eppisai: pyvips is also a possible alternative, but haven't checked it out yet
17:53
eppisai
matplotlib had provided me with a 2d list of each pixel, and value of each pixel was between 0 and 1 , each color stream was also provied different list, so instead coverting it to 4 index colors, I was converting it to four shades, and any color platte could have been used to draw the image in remote, then was making a c array, and templating it to a .h file, in the process, their was rgb to grey conversion and other process etc.. and now as i am typing
17:53
eppisai
i have realized lot of functions and processes may not be neccsary, and I should devise proper way of doing after researching..
17:55
BAndiT1983
biggest advantage of python is the availability of modules which already cover a lot of things, like color conversion
17:55
Bertl
off for now ... bbl
17:55
Bertl
changed nick to: Bertl_oO
17:56
BAndiT1983
so you can check out which ones are suitable and require less effort
17:56
eppisai
: D yea.. Thenks! Will do proper research this time before jumping to code ! :D
17:57
se6ast1an
also note that there is no requirement to convert everything/anything possible to a 2 bit image
17:57
se6ast1an
the icons will be specially designed/prepared how we need them
17:57
se6ast1an
we will not want to convert photographs we captured for example...
17:57
BAndiT1983
yep, mostly black and white
18:02
eppisai
ohk.. I thought we would be converting icons only.. because anti aliasing looks good in GUI..
18:03
BAndiT1983
just tried with a color icon, works also fine, output size is selectable etc., so cairosvg together with PIL works rather fine, cannot warranty that we won'T discover quirks regarding colors etc., but form first tests very promising
18:03
BAndiT1983
do you mean the corners of the buttons, which are jaggy?

Not just buttons any corner, for example checkbox icon
18:06
BAndiT1983
we can convert them also, but we can also improve button drawing by using 9-slicing -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-slice_scaling
18:07
BAndiT1983
at the moment the round corners are calculated, but we just need a couple of options in the firmware and could prepare some data for that, this would avoid calculations and jagged edges, also with anti-aliased images it would look nicer
