Including Graphics

Hi All,

Just realized something.
Due to Euphoria's ability to handle runtime calculated
constants, if you have directly included data in ascii
and/or compressed format you can declare the *TARGET* data
as a constant and bypass the extra memory overhead.

i.e. (using incbm.e)

constant bitmap=ebm("^%V#*G#UG#*&G#*(&G#G......")

Euphoria will recompress the data on execution then
declare the RESULT as a constant. The source data will
not be kept in memory (I assume).

I'll update incbm.e to make use of this method as soon
as I get time.

One of those obvious ones that laughs at you when you
eventually find it under the cushions on the sofa.

Graeme.
