• Design fonts, logos, buttons and icons for embedded Dot Matrix LCD displays and LCD controller based applications, with full graphic feedback in the Windows environment.
• See the icon with the same pixel resolution as on the target display.
• Avoid fiddling around with paper, bitmaps or hexadecimal numbers during the symbol design phase for your LCD or printer application.
• Use Windows bit-map files (*.BMP) as templates for a new icon design.
• Supports conversion from TrueType fonts.
• Editing of built-in fixed fonts and user-defined fonts.
• Reuse your old binary files as icons or fonts.
• Save your work as binary data or as C source table code.
• The LCD Icon Editor has enough different binary and C file formats to cover all known ways of putting 8 pixels in a byte and stacking the bytes.
• Ideal for generating symbols, fonts and icons for the RAMTEX Dot Matrix LCD module Driver Libraries.
• The output from the IconEdit program consists of C source tables which can be directly used with the RAMTEX Graphic User Interface (GUI) libraries for these LCD controller families:
  
  •   T6963, AX6963
  •   KS0108B, KS0107B, HD61202/HD61203
  •   SED1335, S1D13305
  •   KS0713, KS0719, KS0723, KS0728, KS0755, KS0759,
  •   NT7501, NT7502, SED1565, etc
  •   SED1520, AX6120
  •   LC7981, HD61830
  
  All these libraries use the same LCD controller-independent format for symbols, icons and fonts.
• Full on-line documentation
• Supports Win95 / Win 98 / WinNT / Win XP
• Import and conversion of PC fonts to embedded Dot Matrix applications.

The LCD Icon Editor is a monochrome drawing tool for generating graphic symbols, icons and tables. It is designed for use during development of graphic LCD and printer applications. It is very suitable for use in embedded application development, where it is often necessary to view and edit graphic symbols with the same pixel resolution as used by the LCD or printer hardware.

The LCD Icon Editor makes it easy to rotate and align a graphic symbol and to save the symbol in the format which is most suitable for a given graphic controller.

The output files from the LCD Icon Editor can be directly included in your C source code to create a ROM-able symbol or font table. The same portable C structure is used for fonts, character symbols and icons.

Save weeks of work with this low-cost design tool when you want to create your own graphic symbols and text fonts.

• Black, white or toggle pen.
• Draw pixels lines, ellipses, rectangles or characters.
• Draw lines of filled blocks.
• Select a single symbol, a whole font or an icon display.
• The cursor shows the current tool selection.
• Selectable pixel resolution.
• Creation of extended codepage tables, ISO/IEC10646, and Unicode.
• Font import.

• The Font view window shows the currently selected font in several selectable sizes.
• Input characters with the keyboard or by mouse-click in the font view window.
• Use the built-in small fixed fonts, the TrueType fonts in your Windows installation, or load, edit and use your own fonts.

• The variable width of proportional fonts can be edited directly.
• Support for extended fonts and codepages
• Support for segmented codepages. Multiple font segments can be compressed into one font table to optimize memory consumption with embedded systems.
