Roger,

Thanks for the input. You 're right - there is no (good) reason to have "white space " around the bitmaps.

If you would like to e-mail your versions to C-more@automationdirect.com we will try to get them replaced in a future release.

Do you (or anyone else) have any additional bitmaps or objects you would like to share? We can post them to the C-more Micro website here:

http://c-moremicro.automationdirect.com/support/library.html

(and, yes, I see that some of those have white space as well)

only1chip,

I have e-mailed the icons as you suggested. On preparing the icons I had not used previously, I notice that some of my notes about where the extra pixels were located were wrong. No big deal. The graphics I sent have been trimmed properly. Thanks for listening.

I am building a Dynamic Bitmap area for a C-MoreMicro. I am using the Up and Down arrows to indicate Bit ON or OFF. The Arrow jumps to the left when it switches to up and to the right when it switches to down. The problem turned out to be that the bit maps provided by the programming package are 8x8. The arrows are actually 8x7 (or 7x8). The up arrow is justified left (with blank pixels at the right) and the down arrow is justified right (with blank pixels on the left). I edited the two "factory " bit maps and made two 7x8 bitmaps (with different names). My bitmaps behave the way I expected the factory ones to.

Suggestion: Since bit maps don't have to be square, don't add rows or columns of blank pixels around standard bitmaps. Border style is a better way to get the appearance you desire. 16 of the 30 Standard Bitmaps have this problem. That's 53%. They are listed below:

AlarmClock 1 extra row at the top

Belts3 3 extra rows at the top

Blade 1 row top, 2 rows bottom, 2 rows right

Box 1 row at the top, 1 at the bottom

Factory 1 at the left, 1 at the right

Flag 1 at the top

Home 1 top, 1 bottom, 1 left, 1 right

Important 1 at the left, 1 at the right

Recipe2 1 to the right, top is probably OK - artist's choice

Scissors 2 top, 1 left, 1 right, 1 bottom

Stop 1 top, 1 bottom

Tools3 1 top, 1 left, 1 bottom

zArrow8dn 1 left

zArrow8up 1 right

zArrow8lt 1 top

zArrow8rt 1 bottom

I have fixed the ones I need. I can fix them all and provide them to AD or other forum readers if it would be useful. Let me know.
