How Does FS Handle Bitmaps?
Posted: Sun Apr 14, 2013 10:38 pm
Just wondering about the Bitmap primitives, specifically for use in knobs and such, is there any built-in recognition for whether a bitmap file is already loaded within the schematic, or will the program load a separate copy of the bitmap for every knob I have in the project as I suspect?
Given that bitmaps consume memory, it would be nice if the program could store a single copy of any used bitmap and draw from there.
Should I load the bitmaps in a top-level module and link them out to all my knobs wirelessly? I'd rather keep it self contained for the sake of simplicity (and development workflow is very important to me) but this shouldn't be too difficult if it's worth it.
