Asset Manager

[powersoft]

Installed the Asset manager on a fresh Raspberry Pi, without any complains.
After running gd2asset -f digital7.ttf I get the Assets report.
I add a screenshot. Why this strange behavior ?

You can get gd2asset help by giving it "-?" as an argument:

$ gd2asset -?
usage: gd2asset <options> <assets>
      gd3asset <options> <assets>

 -3          target GD3 (FT810 series) - set by gd3asset
 -d          dither all pixel conversions
 -f <name>   output asset file (default is header file)
 -o <name>   output header file

If no output header file is given, then "default_assets.h" is used

Each asset is a filename, optionally followed by some var=val
assignments. For example:
 pic1.png                 image, format ARGB4
 pic2.jpg,format=L8       image, format L8
 serif.ttf,size=16        font, 16 pixels high

Options various file types:

jpg,png,bmp,gif:
format   L1 L2 L4 L8 RGB332 ARGB2 ARGB4 RGB565 ARGB1555. Default ARGB4

ttf,otf
size     height in pixels. Default 12
format   L1 L2 L4 L8 RGB332 ARGB2 ARGB4 RGB565 ARGB1555. Default ARGB4
firstchar  first ASCII code encoded. Default 32
topchar  maximum ASCII code encoded. Default 127
charset  set of characters to encode (overrides topchar)

wav
(no options)

The assets are compiled into flash, or if the "-f" option is given
into a file. In this case the file should be copied to the
microSD card.
In either case, calling LOAD_ASSETS() from the program loads all
assets.


In this case "-f" is followed by a project name, so gd2asset used digital7.ttf as the project name. You probably want something like:


gd2asset -f myproject digital7.ttf
