Hi,

I am looking at the Visual TFT software from Mikroelektronika which is used to design LCD graphics. I use it with PIC3MX795F512 with one of MKE development boards.

https://www.mikroe.com/visual-tft

Once designed, you can generate the code from the VTFT software so that it can be merged with your C code in your C compiler. You can then download it to your MCU and as your MCU runs the code it can also display the LCD graphics that you designed in VTFT.

Obviously the graphics are stored in the MCU's flash!

Does anyone know how and where the memory for the LCD graphics are stored in the MCU ?
And if you have experience using VTFT, how many full blown different images can be stored in the MCU before you run out of memory when displaying on a 240x320 (16bit per color pixel depth)?

thanks for any help!
