In this tutorial, we will see how to display the images/icons on 128x64 Monochrome GLCD. To do this we need images of 128x64 pixels, if not we have to crop/resize the higher resolution images. This can be done using photoshop or some other photo editors. We will be using the windows built in tool PAINT.
