# .bdf to NumPy
|
|
|
|
This project takes a .bdf file and turns it into a [NumPy](https://www.numpy.org/) Array with an intended use with LED matrix displays. My [LED Stock Ticker](https://gitlab.com/them-boys/raspberry-pi-stock-ticker) uses this package. A good list of .bdf files can be found [here](https://github.com/hzeller/rpi-rgb-led-matrix/tree/master/fonts)
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from bdfparse import Font
|
|
|
|
font = Font('9x18.bdf')
|
|
|
|
print(font.word('Hi'))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Which outputs:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or you can use matplotlib to make the output a bit prettier.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
|
|
|
|
plt.imshow(font.word('Anson'))
|
|
```
|
