We no longer embed an increasingly outdated version of monobit.
monobit has now grown too large to embed within
{bittermelon} and stay within CRAN package size
limits..hex and .yaff files will need to manually
install their own version of monobit using
pip3 install monobit.monobit_path in
read_monobit() and write_monobit() and the
global option bittermelon.monobit_path has been changed and
now means the path to pass to base::Sys.which() (if the new
default name "monobit-convert" is not good enough).monobit to
rappdirs::site_config_dir("bittermelon", "monobit") or
rappdirs::user_config_dir("bittermelon", "monobit") will
now be ignored. Please consider deleting them or update the
bittermelon.monobit_path option to point to them.update_monobit() has been removed.The default col argument to
as.raster.bm_bitmap() and plot.bm_bitmap() is
now getOption("bittermelon.col", col_bitmap) where the
newly exported
col_bitmap = c("transparent", "black", "grey50", "grey25").
In particular by default 0L values will now be cast to
“transparent” instead of “grey80”. To get the old behaviour set
options("bittermelon.col" = c("grey80", "black", "grey40")).
We no longer export a generic S3 which() method
which by default calls base::which() and remove the special
which.bm_bitmap() method that first cast to a logical.
Instead now use which(as.logical(x)) for
bm_bitmap() objects.
Many functions were upgraded to S3 generics that support more
bitmap objects. The first argument of these functions are now usually
x instead of bm_object. If specifying the
first argument by name instead of positionally you’ll now need to use
x instead.
bm_distort() is now a wrapper around
magick::image_resize(). x, width,
and height are now the only supported positional
arguments and the interpolate, vp, and
png_device arguments are no longer supported. It now
requires the suggested package {magick}.
The default for height in bm_expand()
is now the value of width i.e.
bm_expand(x, 2L) will now double the size of x
in both directions. To get the previous behaviour you may now need to
explicitly set height = 1L.
bm_pixmap() creates a S3 object representing raster
image pixmaps (#60). Intended to represent pixel art / sprites but can
be used to represent more complicated raster images. It supports the
following S3 methods:
as.matrix.bm_pixmap() and
as.array.bm_pixmap()
as.raster.bm_pixmap() and
plot.bm_pixmap()
cbind.bm_pixmap() and
rbind.bm_pixmap()
format.bm_pixmap() and
print.bm_pixmap()
as_bm_pixmap() is a S3 method that coerces objects
to bm_pixmap() objects
as_bm_pixmap.array() (e.g. from {png},
{jpeg}, and {webp})as_bm_pixmap.bm_bitmap()as_bm_pixmap.default()as_bm_pixmap.glyph_bitmap() (from
{fontr})as_bm_pixmap.grob()as_bm_pixmap.magick-image() (from

{pixeltrix})as_bm_pixmap.pixmapGrey() (from
{pixmap})as_bm_pixmap.pixmapIndexed() (from
{pixmap})as_bm_pixmap.pixmapRGB() (from
{pixmap})as_bm_pixmap.raster()is_bm_pixmap() returns TRUE for
bm_pixmap() objects (or subclasses) and FALSE
for all other objects.
Some of the “Ops” group generic operators such as ==
and !=.
The following functions are now S3 generics that have methods
that support (at least) bm_bitmap() /
bm_pixmap(), bm_font() /
bm_list(), “magick-image”, and “raster” / “nativeRaster”
objects:
bm_bold()bm_clamp()bm_compress()bm_distort()bm_expand()bm_extend()bm_flip()bm_glow()bm_heights()bm_mask()bm_outline()bm_overlay()bm_pad()bm_padding_lengths()bm_resize()bm_rotate()bm_shadow()bm_shift()bm_trim()bm_widths()New bitmap/pixmap manipulation function:
bm_downscale()bm_gray() with alias bm_grey()bm_invert()bm_replace()Other new functions:
bm_print() and bm_format() can be used to
pretty print bitmap objects to the terminal.farming_crops_16x16() returns a named list of lists of
twenty farming crops in five stages of growth plus a portrait as
bm_pixmap() objects.bm_options() returns a list of (current or default)
bittermelon options values.px_auto() determines which character vector to use for
“pixels” based on whether cli::is_utf8_output() is
TRUE or not.New as_bm_bitmap() class methods:
as_bm_bitmap.array() (e.g. from {png},
{jpeg}, and {webp})as_bm_bitmap.bm_pixmap()as_bm_pixmap.glyph_bitmap() (from
{fontr})as_bm_bitmap.magick-image() (from
{magick})as_bm_bitmap.maze() coerces (from
{mazing})as_bm_bitmap.nativeRaster()as_bm_bitmap.pattern_square() (from
{gridpattern})as_bm_bitmap.pattern_weave() (from

{pixeltrix})as_bm_bitmap.pixmapGrey() (from
{pixmap})as_bm_bitmap.pixmapIndexed() (from
{pixmap})as_bm_bitmap.pixmapRGB() (from
{pixmap})as_bm_bitmap.raster()New "bm_bitmap" class S3 generics features:
format.bm_bitmap() and print.bm_bitmap()
gain a downscale argument to downscale the image to
getOption("width") (if necessary to fit in terminal).as.raster.bm_bitmap() now has a native
argument to cast to “nativeRaster” objects.as.matrix.bm_bitmap() now has a
first_row_is_top argument to flip the rows so that the
first row represents the top of the bitmap instead of the bottom.as.array.bm_bitmap() function for writing bitmaps
with png::writePNG() and friends.New color utilities:
col2hex() standardize color strings into a unique hex
color string.col2int() and int2col() convert back and
forth to (native) color integers.Following bm_list() upgrades (#69):
bm_bitmap(), bm_pixmap(),
“magick-image”, “nativeRaster”, or “raster” bitmaps.as_bm_list.list() now supports FUN for a
function which can be applied to each element of the list such as
identity(), as_bm_bitmap(), and
as_bm_pixmap().New package options:
bittermelon.downscale option can be used to change
the default for the downscale argument in
format.bm_bitmap(), print.bm_bitmap(),
format.bm_pixmap(), and
print.bm_pixmap().bg and fg arguments of
format.bm_bitmap() and print.bm_bitmap() now
accept lists of {cli} ANSI style functions in addition to
color strings.print.bm_bitmap() no longer silently ignores its
compress argument.bittermelon.px is now
px_auto(). This means if cli::is_utf8_output()
is FALSE we now default to px_ascii instead of
px_unicode.write_monobit(),
write_yaff(), and the unit tests if any of the options
bittermelon.fg, bittermelon.bg, or
bittermelon.compress are set away from their defaults.read_yaff() now correctly handles octal codepoint and
(single) character labels.write_yaff() now encloses “tag” labels with double
quotes.hex2ucp() now also calls base::toupper()
on the input value.bm_bitmap() objects now also have the class
"bm_matrix" (as does the new bm_pixmap()
objects).format.bm_bitmap(x) no longer throws an error when
x has zero columns (#68).bm_flip() now has a value argument to set
the background padding value to use if in_place is
TRUE.is_combining_character() so it will continue to
work after a breaking change in
Unicode::u_char_property()’s behavior introduced in
{Unicode} v15.1.0-1 (#55).read_hex() has new argument ucp.NULL (default) read every glyph in the font
(#52).block2ucp() and str2ucp() are now
vectorized in their first argument.This update has no user-facing changes (at the request of CRAN we
re-built our package man pages with an updated version of the
{roxygen2} package to avoid a deprecated html image
alignment warning).
bm_compose() simplifies
bm_list() object by applying combining marks to preceding
glpyhs (composing new graphemes) (#42).as_bm_bitmap.character() has new arguments
compose and pua_combining to compose graphemes
using combining characters.as_bm_bitmap.character() direction argument now
supports combining in combinations of horizontal/vertical directions
such as left-to-right, top-to-bottom (#47).is_combining_character() has new argument
pua_combining which is character vector of additional
Unicode code points to be considered “combining” characters (such as
those in the Private Use Area of a font). Defaults to
character(0).read_monobit() and write_monobit() take
new argument monobit_path indicating the directory path
containing monobit to use.file.path(rappdirs::user_config_dir("bittermelon"), "monobit"),
file.path(rappdirs::site_config_dir("bittermelon"), "monobit"),
and system.file("monobit", package = "bittermelon") (in
that order). New package option bittermelon.monobit_path
can be used to set a new default. (#48)update_monobit() which downloads the most
up to date (upstream) version of monobit. Although we
continue to embed an older, more compact version of monobit
in this package the newest versions of monobit are too
large to embed within this package and must be downloaded
separately.monobit should now better handle Amiga, AngelCode BMFont,
X11/Adobe BDF, and C/C++ source code bitmap fonts and be able to
natively read/write bzip2, gzip, or lzma compressed fonts.is_combining_character().bm_expand() for bitmaps with zero
columns/rows.bm_bitmap() creates a S3 object representing bitmaps
(#1). Intended to represent bitmap font glyphs but can be used to
represent more complicated bitmaps. Non-binary bitmaps are allowed (but
we are unlikely to ever support exporting color bitmap fonts). It
supports the following S3 methods:
[.bm_bitmap() and [<-.bm_bitmap()
(#38)
as.matrix.bm_bitmap()
as.raster.bm_bitmap() (#3) and
plot.bm_bitmap() (#4)
cbind.bm_bitmap() and
rbind.bm_bitmap()
format.bm_bitmap() and
print.bm_bitmap() (#2)
which.bm_bitmap() (with which()
redefined as a S3 generic that defaults to
base::which())
as_bm_bitmap() is a S3 method that coerces objects
to bm_bitmap() objects
as_bm_bitmap.default()as_bm_bitmap.grob() (#10)as_bm_bitmap.matrix()is_bm_bitmap() returns TRUE for
bm_bitmap() objects (or subclasses) and FALSE
for all other objects.
bm_list() creates a S3 object representing a list of
bm_bitmap() objects. It supports the following S3
methods:
The “min()”, “max()”, and “range()” functions from the “Summary” group generic methods
as.list.bm_list()
“slicing” with [] returns bm_list()
objects.
as_bm_list() is a S3 method that coerces objects to
bm_list() objects
as_bm_list.character() (#28)as_bm_list.default()as_bm_list.list()is_bm_list() returns TRUE for
bm_list() objects (or subclasses) and FALSE
for all other objects.
bm_font() creates a S3 object representing bitmap
fonts (#5). it is a subclass of the bm_list() class.
as_bm_font() is a S3 method that coerces objects to
bm_font() objects
as_bm_font.default()as_bm_font.list()is_bm_font() returns TRUE for
bm_font() objects (or subclasses) and FALSE
for all other objects.
The following functions can modify bm_bitmap()
objects as well as all the bitmaps in bm_list() objects
(including bm_font()):
!.bm_bold() creates a basic “bold” effect (#16)bm_clamp() clamps integer values between a lower and
upper value. By default coerces the bitmap to binary values.bm_compress() shrinks bitmaps by a factor of two using
a “block elements” scheme (#31).bm_distort() resizes bitmaps via distortion.bm_expand() expands bitmap(s) by repeating each row
and/or column (#19).bm_extend() extends the bitmap by a specified value in
specified directions (#11).bm_flip() flips (reflects) bitmaps (or just their
glyphs in place) vertically, horizontally, or both.bm_glow() adds a basic “glow” effect (#17)bm_mask() uses a mask bitmap to set
certain pixels in a base bitmap to zero (#21).bm_outline() computes a “outline” bitmap from a
bitmap.bm_overlay() merges bitmaps by overlaying one over
another (#18).bm_pad() adjusts bitmap padding lengths (#40).bm_resize() resizes the bitmap to a desired width
and/or height via extending/trimming (#34).bm_rotate() losslessly rotates bitmaps 0, 90, 180, or
270 degrees (#15).bm_shadow() adds a “shadow effect” (#17)bm_shift() shifts elements within a bitmap in a
specified direction while preserving original width and height
(#13).bm_trim() trims the bitmap in specified directions
(#12).Support for reading and writing bitmap fonts
read_hex() reads in a “hex” font as a
bm_font() object (#8)write_hex() writes out a “hex” font of a
bm_font() object (#9)read_yaff() reads in a “yaff” font as a
bm_font() object (#6)write_yaff() writes out a “yaff” font of a
bm_font() object (#7)read_monobit() reads in a bitmap font as a
bm_font() object using monobit. Supports
multiple bitmap font formats. Requires Python to be available.
(#26)write_monobit() writes out a bitmap font of a
bm_font() object using monobit. Supports
multiple bitmap font formats. Requires Python to be available.
(#27)Other utility functions
c() S3 methods combine bitmap objects. In particular
when using it to combine fonts the later fonts “update” the glyphs in
the earlier fonts.bm_call() executes a function on bitmap objects. It
places the bitmap object as the first argument so it is a bit friendlier
to use in pipes than base::do.call() and allows specifying
additional arguments to the function.bm_edit() allows editing a bm_bitmap()
object via text editor indicating zeroes with a . and ones
with a @ (as in yaff font format).bm_lapply() applies a function to each element in a
bm_list() or bm_font() object. It returns
another bm_list() or bm_font() object with the
same metadata as the original object.bm_widths() and bm_heights() calculates
the widths and heights of the bitmaps in bm_list() or
bm_font() objects.bm_padding_lengths() computes the padding lengths of a
target value for the top, right, bottom, and left sides of the
bitmap.block2ucp(), hex2ucp(),
int2ucp(), name2ucp(),
range2ucp(), and str2ucp() return Unicode code
points as character vectors.ucp2label() returns Unicode code labels as character
vectors.is_combining_character() returns TRUE or
FALSE if Unicode code point refers to a combining
character.ucp_sort() sorts Unicode code pointsThese binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
