@laser-dac/ilda-writer v0.2.2

ILDA Writer

This package can write an array of points to an ILDA file (.ild). All ILDA formats are supported (0 to 5).

This is heavily inspired by ilda.js, but this tool only works in the browser and we wanted to be able to use it in both Nodejs and the browser.

To convert an ILDA file to a JSON array of points, see its counterpart ilda-reader.

Install

npm install @laser-dac/ilda-writer

Usage

For a full example see ./test.json and ./test.ts in the repository.

import { toByteArray } from '@laser-dac/ilda-writer';
import { writeFileSync } from 'fs';

const sections = [
  {
    type: 0, // see `SectionTypes` in src/file.ts
    colors: [], // optional, can contain { r: 0, g: 0, b: 0 }
    company: 'Volst', // optional
    head: 0, // optional
    points: [
      {
        blanking: false,
        color: 0,
        x: -4214,
        y: 2011,
        z: 0,
      },
    ],
  },
];

const byteArray = toByteArray(sections);

const b = new Buffer(byteArray);
writeFileSync('test.ild', b);

Or with ILDA format 5:

import { toByteArray } from '@laser-dac/ilda-writer';
import { writeFileSync } from 'fs';

const sections = [
  {
    type: 5,
    points: [
      {
        blanking: false,
        x: -4214,
        y: 2011,
        r: 255,
        g: 0,
        b: 0,
      },
    ],
  },
];

const byteArray = toByteArray(sections);

const b = new Buffer(byteArray);
writeFileSync('test.ild', b);
