The LCD panel picture (pattern) file is a bitmap file (.bmp) which represents the practical patterns
and their positions on the panel. The bitmap file can be created using any bitmap editor and pro-
vides another method of setting up the LCD panel pattern information by using the HT-LCDS Edit
menu, Panel Editor command. The bitmap file is optional, users can setup the LCD panel pattern
information even if the LCD panel picture file is absent.

The following two steps are used to setup a panel configuration file:
·

as well as the width and height size of the panel in pixels. Also, the directory of the panel configu-
