Image Formats | PopChart Server Reference 4.0.5 |
Available only in PopChart Server Pro and PopChart Server Enterprise.
WBMP stands for Wireless BitMaP. It is the standard image format for wireless devices that use WAP (Wireless Application Protocol). WBMP's are uncompressed, black and white bitmaps that are intended for use on devices with small screens and limited bandwidth connections.
When you design PopChart images meant to be displayed in wireless browsers, it is important to remember several things. First of all, WBMP images will appear in only two colors. Everything that is colored will appear black. Secondly, you should design your appearance file to be small, as scaling larger appearance files down to a size suitable for wireless browsers will likely result in distorted fonts and images.Typically, you will want to limit the size of your appearance file (and PopChart image) to 96x48 pixels.
Because PopChart images in the WBMP format often appear very different than images in other formats, previewing your images in a wireless browser should be an integral part of your design process.
