# .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
|
|
import numpy as np
|
|
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
|
|
|
|
font = parse_chars("9x18.bdf")
|
|
matrix = font["A"]
|
|
text = "nson"
|
|
|
|
for letter in text:
|
|
matrix = np.concatenate((matrix, font[letter]), axis=1)
|
|
|
|
plt.imshow(matrix)
|
|
plt.show()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
