Dotmatrix editor

Other Hardware LEDs and Multiplexing
1

As a side project of ht1632 library for Arduino, I wrote also a dotmatrix editor for fonts and bitmaps: GitHub - wildstray/dotmatrix-editor: Perl Gtk2 editor for dotmatrix display fonts

I wrote it in Perl-GTK... sorry but I'm not so good with Java. Anyway it should be portable/runnable on any OS with Perl and some Perl libraries (on the project Wiki there are basic instructions for Linux, Windows and OSX users).

It's a first working release, almost working... can you test it and say me how did it strike you? Any suggestions?

(...and yes, I know, the editor resemble a bit Minesweeper :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)

In the next release I'll add a text box to copy and paste results in form of C array fragment (for now, because direct saving to file is difficult and time consuming to develop).

If somebody is available to contribute I'll happy to add as project member on Google Code.

About procedures and required libraries to install, try and let me know if you notice some issues... My copy is working under a Debian 5.0 Linux, but install procedures for Windows, OSX and Linux distros different from Debian/Ubuntu have to be verified...
