/HMI_ImageLibrary/ ├── Common/ │ ├── Buttons/ (press, release, disabled, toggle) │ ├── Backgrounds/ (day, night, alarm overlay) │ └── Fonts/ (icon fonts, numeric 7-seg) ├── Symbols/ │ ├── Industrial/ │ │ ├── Pumps/ (centrifugal, piston, submersible) │ │ ├── Valves/ (gate, ball, butterfly) │ │ └── Tanks/ (horizontal, vertical, with level) │ └── Automotive/ │ ├── Dashboard/ (speedo, tacho, fuel, temp) │ └── HVAC/ (fan, temp up/down, defrost) ├── StatusIcons/ │ ├── Alarms/ (critical, warning, info, acknowledged) │ ├── Comm/ (online, offline, error, signal strength) │ └── States/ (running, stopped, auto, manual) ├── Animations/ │ ├── Spritesheets/ (motor spin, conveyor belt) │ └── FrameSequences/ (indicator blink, progress arc) ├── Templates/ (screen layout guides, grid overlays) └── Metadata/ (image index, asset IDs, color tables) | Format | Best for | Pros | Cons | |--------|----------|------|------| | SVG | Icons, symbols, scalable widgets | Infinite scaling, small size | Needs vector engine; slower render | | PNG | Photos, complex graphics | Lossless, alpha support | Larger files; fixed resolution | | WebP | Large backgrounds | Good compression (lossy/lossless) | Decoding overhead on low-end MCUs | | QOI (Quite OK Image) | Embedded HMI | Very fast decode, simple | Not widely supported natively | | BMP/Raw | Direct framebuffer blitting | No decode latency | Huge memory usage | hmi image library

| State | Example | |-------|---------| | Normal | pump_off.png | | Active | pump_on.png | | Hover | pump_hover.png (if touch, skip) | | Disabled | pump_disabled.png | | Alarm | pump_alarm.png (red outline) | convert input
