It seems to me that you put for every pixel one quad.

Almost...I combine pixels of the same color that are on the same horizontal

ocupies 1 through 5.

Most of my stickers have been about 1MB.

I wasn't aware of the other programs when I wrote mine.  I don't think that
there is a good programmatic way to make official files.

I'll try to combine the vertical lines together, where possible, so that should
reduce file size.

Look for another release tomorrow.

Thanks for all of the suggestions and ideas!

Hi Scott,
  It will be better if you put adjacent horizontal pixels into a long quad
rather than a line.

  The renderer POV-Ray does not support the concept of lines, so they are tossed
when L3P converts you LDraw file to a POV file.

(...) Sorry, long quads is really what I meant by a line. So, that's exactly what the program does. I should have an update out later today or tomorrow that combines pixels vertically as well. Thanks, Scott (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad)
