row padding/stride

[MarkCallow]

I have been using imdebug, which provides similar debugging capability to Pico Pixel, for years. However it does not support images with row padding such as those discussed in issue #1. Does Pico Pixel support have a format specifier for that?

Imdebug was an inspiration for Pico Pixel SDK image capture. The SDK supports row padding (at the end of the row).

When using the SDK, you supply

• pixel format of the image
• width
• height
• the pitch of rows

This is enough for Pico Pixel to reconstruct the image.

This feature has just been released a few weeks ago, so only a few formats were exposed (RGB, RGBA, DEPTH...). However more pixel formats are supported (just not exposed until further tests). Let me know if there are pixel formats you would like to see in priority.

As part of Pico Pixel download, there is a test client program you can use to test the image capture feature.
