Bitmap Creation and Conversion Know How

Hi All,

I did a quick search for "bitmap conversion" in this forum, and found many entries.

Is there a good overview about bitmap creation and conversion somewhere?

Could we collect links to helpful information here, maybe?

Topics like conversion from/to different bitmap formats, e.g. BMP depth, jpg, …,
conversion from/to code arrays, e.g. image2lcd and alternatives...

I found this Wikipedia entry useful: BMP file format - Wikipedia

Thank you
