Hello Guys,
I am using POV3.7. I am trying to display a bitmap file with 1 bitdepth, so i
write the Command "Bits_per_color=1" in the "povray.ini". But it doesen't work,
and still shows the bitdepth = 24.
Does anybody known how can i solve this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.
best regards,
Di

POV-Ray is comparatively limited in the combinations of bit depth and
file formats it supports. The Bits_per_color setting is primarily there
to allow >8 bits per color channel, or reduce the number of different
colors to obtain higher compression rates (e.g. for PNG files).
Also note that Bits_per_color sets the number of bits per color channel
(per pixel), not the total bits per pixel, so even a setting of 1 could
only give you an RGB 3-bit-per-pixel file, rather than the
1-bit-per-pixel format you're probably aiming for.
You'll need an external image manipulation tool to convert to a true B/W
bitmap.

Make that "to /choose/ >8 bits per color channel [provided the file
format supports it]".
