Smooth Google Icons with 7789 TFT

[MYCAMEL222]

I've got the font conversion to smooth fonts down pat using Bodmer's method.

I'm trying to figure out how to take Google Icons (https://fonts.google.com/icons) and turn them into 48x48 smooth graphics.

Currently, I use one of the online converters to convert from PNG to hex and store that as const unsigned char array, then use drawbmp.

They are never "crisp".

Is drawXbmp a better solution? or is there a solution.

Is displaying a 48x48 JPEG a better way?

I'm all ears......Thanks

If your processor has sufficient RAM then you can render a PNG direct to the screen. Simple icons typically end up as very smallfiles that way. See example.

Another option is to find a font with suitable icons.

I have added an example that may be of interest, it renders PNG images that have a transparent area. Example here:

I decided, why use monochrome icons when I'm using a full color TFT....?

I designed/copied some icons from Canva and downloaded them as 48x48 jpegs with the appropriate color as a background. The JPG did not meet my quality hopes.

I redid all of them as PNG, again with the correct background colors and that are spot on . No need to even try the transparent background (thanks for posting the demo).

And thank you for a great library.!!

Now I need to figure out how to print the PNG to a sprite, but that is for another day...
