So I have been playing around with animations and I think that 9 x 9 may be too compressed to be useful with the 69 pixel matrix beyond simple letters or shapes. I reduced my pngs and mp4’s to 9x9 sizes, but cpqoi looks like it’s struggling to deal with such low res. Any suggestions or tips to optimize for the smaller sizing?
Thanks
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here.
The 69-pixel matrix is 9x9 pixels, so it’s not “compressed”.
9x9 is a very low resolution display, so it makes sense that only simple stuff like text and emojis will work, and there is nothing cpqoi can do about that. (cpqoi doesn’t actually alter the picture you give it.)
As for tips and tricks: hand-drawn images works best, and it doesn’t take that much effort for low-resolution stuff like this.
I appreciate it. I think I got everything working, the pixels were just struggling with colors at times, which I removed alpha on my png’s that seemed to do the trick. Last question is on the config. Will moving pixels out of sequential order cause issues? For instance 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 20 for line 3 below.
-1, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, -1, -1,
-1, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, -1,
20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12,
I think I have it all ironed out and pqoi has been a ton of fun. I think I am ready to graduate to a much higher resolution screen now. I appreciate all of your help.
Depends on what you mean by issues.
Will it comple and run? - yes
Will it look weird? - yes
