18 converts input files in
20 format to escape sequences that are understood by
22 This allows for displaying icons and logos on the BOOT-Prom's splash
25 If no input file is specified, data is read from
35 tries to do some compression and minimizes the output filesize.
43 intensities for the background color. This information is
44 used for providing a shape mask. All values are in the range from 0 to
48 Allows for explicitly providing a translation between color values and
49 color indices. The indices are in the range 0 to 7 and conform to the
63 If no translations apply,
65 will automatically select the color that is closest.
69 Specify an X offset relative to the current text cursor position.
72 Specify an Y offset relative to the current text cursor position.

79 .B <esc>[a;b;c;d+<data>
80 Draw pixel data. Use one byte per pixel. Colors are encoded as shown
81 above. In text mode, graphics is approximated by outputting suitable
82 characters. Parameters differ depending on the number of parameters

117 same as above, but pack pixels into three bits. The first pixel is
118 stored in the three most significant bits of the first data byte.
