Hello,

The following code is a cursor converted C++ Array.

static BYTE XORMask[128] =

  0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
  0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
};

Can I use ImageMagick for that conversion?

Thank you.

Suppose your cursor is in a file named cursor.png. Then:

Code: Select all

magick cursor.png out.h

out.h will be something like:

Code: Select all

/*
  out.h (PNM).
*/
static const unsigned char
  MagickImage[] =
  {
    0x50, 0x35, 0x0A, 0x33, 0x20, 0x33, 0x0A, 0x32, 0x35, 0x35, 0x0A, 0xB9, 
    0xB9, 0xB9, 0xB9, 0xFF, 0xB9, 0xB9, 0xB9, 0xB9, 
  };

This is PNM format. The pixels start after the third newline (0x0A). If you want 16 bits per channel, use "-depth 16". If you want colour, ie three values per pixel, use "-type truecolor".

Note that the defaults seem to have changed between IM versions 6 and 7, so it may be better to always specify the depth and type you need.

Thanks for replying. I appreciate it.

I've tried various combination but none works properly. I get a corrupt image.

I have 2 arrays:

Code: Select all

static BYTE XORMask[128]

and

Code: Select all

static BYTE ANDMask[128]

I have a .cur file. I suppose I should convert it to XOR Mask and AND Mask.

IM can read Windows cursor formats. (But there may be other ".cur" formats.) For example:

Code: Select all

f:\web\im>%IM%identify up_m.cur

up_m.cur[0] CUR 48x48 48x48+0+0 1-bit sRGB 1.6KB 0.000u 0:00.000
up_m.cur[1] CUR 32x32 32x32+0+0 4-bit sRGB 1.6KB 0.000u 0:00.016

IM sees two images in the file. I suppose these are the "and" and "xor" masks. Converting them gives two ".h" files.

Those 2 arrays are sizes.

If you take aero_link.cur from C:\Windows\Cursors, you get:

Code: Select all

aero_link.cur[0] CUR 48x48 48x48+0+0 8-bit sRGB 13942B 0.016u 0:00.014
aero_link.cur[1] CUR 32x32 32x32+0+0 8-bit sRGB 13942B 0.000u 0:00.000

but if you delete the 48x48, you get:

Code: Select all

aero_link.cur CUR 32x32 32x32+0+0 8-bit sRGB 4286B 0.000u 0:00.000

Anyway, the question is how you convert them.

Thanks again.

On my Windows 8.1, that file gives me three images:

Code: Select all

f:\web\im>%IMG7%magick C:\Windows\Cursors\aero_link.cur info:

C:\Windows\Cursors\aero_link.cur[0] CUR 64x64 64x64+0+0 8-bit sRGB 30894B 0.016u 0:00.047
C:\Windows\Cursors\aero_link.cur[1] CUR 48x48 48x48+0+0 8-bit sRGB 30894B 0.000u 0:00.046
C:\Windows\Cursors\aero_link.cur[2] CUR 32x32 32x32+0+0 8-bit sRGB 30894B 0.000u 0:00.062

We can convert them all to PNG images:

Code: Select all

magick C:\Windows\Cursors\aero_link.cur aero_cur_%d.png

This is a hand with pointing finger, on a transparent background, at three different sizes. Any or all of these could be converted to .h files.

Any or all of these could be converted to .h files.

I've tried converting to PNM and RGBA formats. I get a proper .h file but it doesn't work in my code.

Thanks.
