Expanded mode:

**Example**

Reading a text file and producing a bitmap out of it (WPF):

```

string path = @"Samples\SAMPLE1.TXT";

byte[] b800Data = File.ReadAllBytes(path);

bool expand = true;

int columns = 80;

Font font = new Cp437Font16();

Tuple render = B800Renderer.Render(font, b800Data, columns, expand);

int pixelWidth = render.Item1;

int pixelHeight = render.Item2;

int[] pixels = render.Item3;

BitmapSource source =

    BitmapSource.Create(pixelWidth, pixelHeight, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Bgra32, null, pixels, pixelWidth*4);

```

**TODO**

- implement the blink flag to produce an animation when content is animated
