  Subj: using brute force to load
From: randyd@alpha2.csd.uwm.edu (Randall Elton Ding)

Some have been asking how to load bmp's and such from a file into
the bgi..  Here is a brute force method for doing that in 16 color
EGAVGA or HercMono modes.

There are two programs after this discussion, the first is the bmp
utility and the second is a program that generates a bmp test pattern
with the 16 standard colors used by the bmpgetimage example.

First - if you look at this program, then look in the manual, you will
find that the manual is dead wrong about the setpalette procedure.

          Declaration:
          procedure SetPalette(ColorNum: Word; Color: Shortint);

          Changes the ColorNum entry in the palette to Color.
wrong --> SetPalette(0, LightCyan) makes the first color in the
          palette light cyan. ColorNum can range from 0 to 15......

LightCyan is a constant and is equil to 11 but should be 59, see below.
The color param used by setpalette proc is RGB defined in this way...

    bits: 0 = high intensity blue
          1 = high intensity green
          2 = high intensity red
          3 = low intensity blue
          4 = low intensity green
          5 = low intensity red
          6 = 0
          7 = 0

The bmpgetimage procedure below reads the 64 byte pallet from the bmp
and uses the 2 most sig bits from each BB GG RR 00 entry.
This conversion is not the greatest but this is a brute force method.

program bmp2bgi;

  string80 = string[80];

{ for vga putimage data, each line is repeated 4 times (4 bit planes) }
{ one for each color bit (16 color egavga) }
{ for hercmono, there is only 1 bit plane }
{ the word following the end of the last line
{ must be 00 00 in hercmono to tell BGI that there is only 1 bit plane }
{ for VGA the last word is 0F 00 ($000F) for 16 colors (4 bit planes) }

{ ! must be in graphics mode to call this procedure }
{ does getimage like function on either 2 color or 4 color bmp file }
{ use dw=0 dh=0 to get bmp image from dx,dy to extreme edge }
{ this procedure will load a 2 color bmp as a B&W image into a 16 color
{ 4 bit plan putimage structure provided that the current video mode is }
{ egavga, but will not load a 16 color bmp into a single bit plane }
{ when the current video mode is hercmono }
{ no memory will be allocated if an error occurs (error when errs <> '') }
