nanogui: Thread: Reading and Displaying the Bitmap at Run Time

Dear  Greg,

        I am developing an VC++ application and trying to port the
application to Linux using Microwindows. The main function of the
application is displaying  Bitmaps ( size 300kb each) on different screens.A
set of  minimum 30 Bitmaps will be used .The sample VC++ program ( Mine
Game ) available in microwindows-0.89pre6.tar.gz  is storing the Bitmap
information to the final binary .

 The problem i am facing is just by including Two Bitmaps the size of the
binary raises to 0.7MB.Is there any way i can read the Bitmaps at runtime
and Display the Bitmap so that the binary size can be reduced.Do
Microwindows supports the above functionality.

Best Regards
Krishnan

Yes, you can use the GdDrawImageFromFile et al functions.  Rather
than developing a new API, you can #include "device.h" and then just
call the function directly, since win32 programs are always linked with
the server.
