PNG decoder for LVGL

Allow the use of PNG images in LVGL. This implementation uses lodepng library.

Get started

• Download or clone this repository
  • Download from GitHub
  • Clone: git clone https://github.com/littlevgl/lv_lib_png.git
• Include the library: #include "lv_lib_png/lv_png.h"
• Initalize the decocer with lv_png_init()

• Test with the following code:

  LV_IMG_DECLARE(png_decoder_test);
  lv_obj_t * img = lv_img_create(lv_scr_act(), NULL);
  lv_img_set_src(img, &png_decoder_test);
  

  Use PNG images from file

  By deafult lodepng uses C file IO API (e.g. fopen) and images can be opened like this:

  lv_img_set_src(img, "./lv_lib_lodepng/png_decoder_test.png");
  

If you want to make lodepng to use LVGL's file system API add #define LV_PNG_USE_LV_FILESYSTEM 1 to the end of yourlv_conf.h. In this case you need to register a driver fo LVGL. The following functions are required:

• open_cb()
• read_cb()
• close_cb()
• size_cb()

After that fiels can be opened like this:

lv_img_set_src(img, "P:lv_lib_lodepng/png_decoder_test.png");

Note that the path of the file might be different.

Use PNG images from flash

To store a PNG image in flash it needs to be converted to C array with Online Image converter. Choose Raw with alpha Color format and C array Output format. Copy the result C array to your project and use it like this:

    LV_IMG_DECLARE(my_test_img);
    lv_obj_t * img = lv_img_create(lv_scr_act(), NULL);
    lv_img_set_src(img, &my_test_img);
