That's odd--LDLite crops images to the space actually used. There
shouldn't be any white space. Ever, as far as I know.
Have you generated images with the resolution set to '(default)' (or don't
set resolution at all). With this option, LDLite should run full-screen,
and crop the images to the part-image.

Why not generate one set, and multiply the file-space by the number of
colors needed? The various-colored part images are all going to be nearly
the same size.

The images on Partsref *are* generated by LDAO/LDLite. I just use PSP to
reformat the images from BMP to GIF.
There's a bug in LDAO's BMP-compress routine, sometimes skinny parts get
corrupted. So I have to check the images after generating, delete the bad
ones, and regenerate them (without compression). If your goal is strictly
to generate a set of images in GIF format, skip the LDAO compression, and
let your BMP2GIF tool deal with reducing the color-depth.

| Ok, I'll admit I'm not very experienced with any of the lego cad packages since I find them (for me) too hard to use. But I am trying to generate a VEC within LDAO for every part in every color. There is probably an easier way to do it that what I (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad)
