Released v1.2.0

.

This one adds a major feature: displaying images! Most common formats should be handled, and you can adjust the exact positioning in all kinds of crazy ways

.

As usual, for best results, properly dithered PNGs are your friend

.

If you have access to ImageMagick v7, my current rescale + letterbox + grayscale + dither pass of choice looks something like this:

Code:

convert input.png -colorspace Lab -filter LanczosSharp -distort Resize 1080x1429 -colorspace sRGB -background black -gravity center -extent 1080x1429! -grayscale Rec709Luminance -colorspace sRGB -dither Riemersma -remap eink_cmap.gif -quality 75 png:out.png

1080x1429 being the effective resolution of an H2O

.

With the cmap attached here.

EDIT:

An approximately 10 times faster alternative, if you *really* need on-device processing:

Code:

convert input.png -filter LanczosSharp -resize 1080x1429 -background black -gravity center -extent '1080x1429!' -colorspace Gray -dither Riemersma -remap eink_cmap.gif -quality 75 png:out.png

Reason: Create true Grayscale PNGs, instead of Indexed RGB (speedier rendering in FBInk ;)).
