Hello!

I would like to use the native Kindle command "eips" to draw a bmp to the display (eips -b <filename>). But I struggle to get the bmp displayed correctly. It looks like it is stretched to 3 times its size, so that the actual visual portion is 1/3 of the image. The BMP I tried was a RGB bmp (24bits per pixel) but I also tried a monochrome BMP (8bits per pixel) - same visual error.

Does anyone have information about the specifics of the BMP file that is displayed correctly using eips? Maybe even an example BMP file, that would be very helpful!

Thank You!
