#Simple Font And Image generator
Simple scripts for generating bit fonts for STM32, AVR, Arduino or other MCU, game and etc.
#How to use Font Generator
1) Install python 3.4 or newer
2) Install [PILLOW](http://python-pillow.org/):
```Bash
pip install Pillow
```
3) Select font and place it in the folder with scripts
4) Edit config.py
5) run GenerateFontBitmap.py, it will be create and open image with name as bitmap_png value:
```
python GenerateFontBitmap.py
```
6) Check and edit bitmap_png. Regenerate font if thats required.
Check this:
* All chars must be in their cells
* If cell is blue, that means it's height more then default and it was offseted up.
* Check if white pixels isn't on cell outline. Like this 
If something wrong you can change anything in any image editor.
Good font must be look like:
7) Generate code with:
```
python BitmapFontToCode.py
```
8) DONE! Use this font wherever you want! For example:
#How to use Image generator:
1) Edit "png" value in ImageToCode.py. That is a path to image.
2) Generate code and file:
```
python ImageToCode.py
```
You can find usage of generated code here: https://github.com/SL-RU/stm32libs/blob/master/HAL/ssd1306/ssd1306.c in function void ssd1306_image(uint8_t *img, uint8_t x, uint8_t y)

#How to use font with [my ssd1306 stm32 library](https://github.com/SL-RU/stm32libs/tree/master/HAL/ssd1306):
1) Add defenition in fonts.h
2) Add generated font data to fonts.c and set params
```
const uint8_t customfont[] = {
//output_file text
};
FontDef_t custom_font = {
width,
height,
byte width, //in the end of output BitmapFontToCode.py
customfont
};
```
Good luck!
