# CrossPoint PXC Converter

**[crosspoint-pxc-converter.pages.dev](https://crosspoint-pxc-converter.pages.dev)**

A browser-based converter that turns images and Game Boy 2BPP captures into sleep-screen wallpapers for the [CrossPoint](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader) e-reader firmware running on XTeink devices. Inputs go in as PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, GIF, `.2bpp`, `.bin`, `.gb`, or GB-Printer `.txt` logs; outputs come out as `.pxc` (CrossPoint native) or `.bmp` (4-bit indexed). Every step runs locally in the browser — no upload, no server.

## Devices

| Device | Resolution |
|--------|-----------|
| **X4** | 480×800 |
| **X3** | 528×792 |

The selected device controls the output canvas size for both export formats.

## PXC format

PXC is CrossPoint's native wallpaper format. It stores 2 bits per pixel — four grey levels mapped one-to-one to the e-ink display's physical states.

| Value | Display level | sRGB |
|-------|--------------|------|
| `0`   | Black        | 0    |
| `1`   | Dark grey    | 85   |
| `2`   | Light grey   | 170  |
| `3`   | White        | 255  |

**File layout**

```
Bytes 0–1   Width  (uint16 LE)
Bytes 2–3   Height (uint16 LE)
Bytes 4+    Pixel data — 2 bits per pixel, MSB first, row-major.
            Each byte holds 4 pixels: [p0 p1 p2 p3] in bits [7:6 5:4 3:2 1:0].
            Each row is ceil(width / 4) bytes; rows are not packed across
            boundaries.
```

| Device | File size |
|--------|----------|
| X4     | 96,004 bytes |
| X3     | 104,548 bytes |

---

## BMP format

The BMP export uses BMP3 (`BITMAPINFOHEADER`), 4-bit indexed colour, with a 4-entry palette.

- **Image mode** — greyscale palette `#000000 #555555 #AAAAAA #FFFFFF`, matching the four e-ink levels and ImageMagick's `-colorspace Gray -dither FloydSteinberg -remap palette.png -define bmp:format=bmp3 -type Palette` pipeline.
- **Game Boy mode** — palette pulled from the selected colour scheme (DMG, Pocket, B&W, or SGB) so the BMP previews correctly in any colour-aware viewer.

## Where to put the file on the device

| Path on SD card    | Effect                                  |
|--------------------|-----------------------------------------|
| `/sleep.pxc`       | Single static sleep screen (PXC)        |
| `/sleep.bmp`       | Single static sleep screen (BMP)        |
| `/.sleep/name.pxc` | Member of the rotating wallpaper pool   |
| `/.sleep/name.bmp` | Member of the rotating wallpaper pool   |

CrossPoint picks at random from `/.sleep/` when multiple files are present. PXC and BMP files mix freely in the same pool.

## Features

### Input

- Drag-and-drop, click-to-browse, or paste from the clipboard (`Ctrl+V` / `Cmd+V`).
- The loader inspects the file extension and routes automatically:
  - `.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.webp`, `.bmp`, `.gif` → image mode.
  - `.2bpp`, `.bin`, `.gb` → Game Boy binary mode.
  - `.txt` (or pasted text) → Game Boy Printer log parser.
- Bad inputs (decode failure, malformed GB byte stream, unrecognised text payload) surface as an inline status banner.

### Source editor

- **Crop / Fit modes** — crop selects a viewport that fills the device exactly; fit letterboxes the whole source. The crop window snaps when its centre aligns with the source centre.
- **Fit alignment** — 3×3 grid (top-left through bottom-right) controls placement of the letterboxed image. The unused area fills with the chosen background colour (white or black).
- **Rotation** — 90° clockwise / counter-clockwise steps.
- **Mirror** — independent horizontal and vertical flips of the current view (H always flips left-right on screen, V always flips top-bottom, even when the image is rotated 90°/270°). The crop selection is preserved across rotation and mirror operations.
- **Zoom** — continuous slider from 1× to a per-image maximum (capped so the source never upscales beyond its native pixels), plus mouse-wheel zoom anchored at the cursor.
- **Scrollable viewport** — the source panel pans when the zoomed image exceeds its frame; scroll position is preserved during zoom changes.
- **Source label** — displays the loaded asset's natural pixel dimensions, e.g. `Source · 1920×1080 — drag or click to reposition`.

### Scaling

Downscaling runs **Lanczos3** through [pica](https://github.com/nodeca/pica). For sources more than 2× the device target, the pipeline halves the image with high-quality bilinear smoothing until it lands within 2× of the target, then performs a single Lanczos3 pass to land exactly on the target dimensions. The same scaling path drives the editor preview and the export, so what shows on screen reflects the final output.

### Tone pipeline

Controls run in this processing order: black/white-point map → gamma → contrast → invert → dither.

| Control | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Black / White points** | 0–255 sliders that linearly remap the input range. Each clamps against the other so they cannot cross. |
| **Gamma** | 0.30–5.00, default 1.00. Applies `Vout = Vin^(1/γ)` after the black/white remap. γ > 1 lifts shadows (brighter, more shadow detail); γ < 1 compresses shadows (darker, more highlight detail). |
| **Contrast** | ±100 linear adjustment, pivoting at midpoint (128). |
| **Invert** | Inverts luminance after tone mapping, before dithering. |
| **Auto** | Sets black and white points from histogram percentile clipping; resets gamma to 1.00. Once enabled, re-runs automatically (debounced) when the crop region changes — rotation, mirror, zoom, or drag — so cropping into a darker or lighter area doesn't strand the levels at stale values. Moving any tone slider manually clears the auto-levels lock. |
| **Reset all** | Restores black, white, and gamma to defaults. |

### Dithering

Every error-diffusion algorithm uses BT.601 luminance in sRGB space and quantises against the X4 e-ink panel's calibrated response — bins `30 / 50 / 140` with perceived levels `[15, 30, 80, 210]` — matching the CrossPoint firmware's own image pipeline, so the dithered pattern reads at the source's brightness on the physical display.

| Algorithm | Notes |
|-----------|-------|
| **Zhou-Fang** | **Default.** JJN kernel with serpentine scanning and intensity-dependent coefficient + threshold modulation (Zhou & Fang, SIGGRAPH 2003). Eliminates the "worm" artifacts of single-direction JJN. Strong choice for photographic content on e-ink. |
| **Floyd-Steinberg** | Classic 4-neighbour kernel (`7/5/3/1 ÷ 16`). Fast and balanced; the textbook reference for error diffusion. |
| **Atkinson** | Distributes only 6/8 of the error across 6 neighbours. Preserves highlights, produces lighter results — popular for manga. |
| **Jarvis (JJN)** | 3-row, 12-neighbour kernel (`÷ 48`). Wider error spread, less banding, softer edges. |
| **Stucki** | JJN-family weights (`÷ 42`). Slightly sharper than Jarvis. |
| **Burkes** | 2-row Stucki (`÷ 32`). Faster than the 3-row variants while staying sharp. |
| **Bayer** | 4×4 ordered (threshold) dithering. No error bleeding; produces a regular crosshatch suited to flat illustration with hard edges. |
| **Blue Noise** | 64×64 pre-computed blue-noise threshold matrix. Ordered like Bayer but with high-frequency noise distribution; clean look on photographic content without the directional bias of error diffusion. |

A toggle disables dithering altogether for hard-quantised output.

### Histogram

A live tone-distribution panel renders alongside the preview:

- 256-bin luminance histogram of the post-tone pre-dither buffer.
- Four coloured zones corresponding to the four output levels, each labelled with the percentage of pixels that fall into it.
- A solid palette colour strip below for unambiguous level identification.
- Threshold markers drawn at 45, 70, and 140 — the boundaries between adjacent output levels.

### Game Boy mode

Game Boy binaries (`.2bpp`, `.bin`, `.gb`) and GB-Printer text logs (`.txt` files or pasted text) decode through a 2-bits-per-pixel tile reader at 20 tiles wide.

| Control | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Output scale** | Integer pixel-perfect multiplier (1×, 2×, 3×, …) up to the maximum that still fits inside the device target. The scaled tile art centres on the canvas. |
| **Background** | White or black fill behind the centred tile art. |
| **BMP palette** | Colour scheme used for the `.bmp` export: DMG (green), Pocket (sepia/grey), B&W (greyscale), SGB (purple/orange). The `.pxc` export is always greyscale. |
| **Invert** | Flips GB colour indices (`0↔3`, `1↔2`) before conversion. |
| **Rotation** | 90° clockwise / counter-clockwise. |

The GB-Printer text-log parser reads hex byte lines and extracts the `PRNT` palette register, applying the captured grey levels automatically. The GB Printer palette readout reports the register value and the per-shade mapping in the file-info panel.

**GB index → PXC level**

| GB index | Meaning   | PXC level      |
|----------|-----------|----------------|
| 0        | Lightest  | 3 (white)      |
| 1        | Light     | 2 (light grey) |
| 2        | Dark      | 1 (dark grey)  |
| 3        | Darkest   | 0 (black)      |

### Preview

- The output preview canvas updates live on every control change.
- A 3.6× zoom loupe follows the cursor over the preview for pixel-level inspection.

### Export

- **Download .pxc** — CrossPoint native format.
- **Download .bmp** — 4-bit indexed BMP3 (greyscale palette in image mode, GB colour palette in GB mode).

Filenames are tagged with the dither method (image mode) and target device, so multiple variants of the same source don't collide:

```
{baseName}[-{ditherCode}]-{DEVICE}.{pxc|bmp}
```

- `baseName` — the source filename without its extension (defaults to `sleep` before any file is loaded).
- `ditherCode` — image-mode short code: `fs`, `atk`, `jjn`, `stk`, `bks`, `bay`, `zf` (Zhou-Fang, default), `bn` (Blue Noise). Omitted when dither is off or the source is a GB capture.
- `DEVICE` — `X3` or `X4`, matching the device pill.

Examples: `earth-zf-X4.pxc`, `earth-atk-X3.bmp`, `mario-X4.pxc` (GB), `earth-X4.pxc` (image, dither off).

## Development

```bash
npm install
npm run dev      # local dev server
npm run build    # type-check and produce static dist/
npm run test     # vitest run
```

The build output in `dist/` is plain static files — HTML, JS chunks, CSS, and a worker bundle.

### Hosting requirements

The dither pipeline runs in a Web Worker over a `SharedArrayBuffer`. Browsers allow that only inside a cross-origin-isolated context, so production hosting must serve the app with these response headers:

- `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin`
- `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp`

`public/_headers` ships the correct values for hosts that read that file format. On other hosts, configure the equivalent response-header rules in the host's own configuration.

---

## Architecture

The codebase is plain DOM plus a hand-rolled flux-style store, organised into a strict one-directional layer chain (each layer may only import from layers further left):

```
domain  ←  infra  ←  app  ←  features  ←  ui
```

- **`src/domain/`** — pure logic with no DOM: geometry, tone, dithering, histogram, format encoders, GB decoders + helpers.
- **`src/infra/`** — browser, canvas, worker, and file-IO adapters.
- **`src/app/`** — store, reducer, runtime containers, top-level orchestration, loader routing, shared cleanup helpers.
- **`src/features/{image,gb}/`** — feature controllers and helpers wired through deps; image and GB never import each other.
- **`src/ui/`** — DOM lookup, store-driven render, event bindings, crop interaction, preview loupe.

The dither / tone pipeline runs in a Web Worker over a `SharedArrayBuffer` (see [Hosting requirements](#hosting-requirements)). Three monotonic version counters (`processVersion`, `sharedBufferVersion`, `autoLevelsGen`) gate async results so a stale dither pass can't overwrite a fresh one.

`code-map.md` carries the full architectural contract: layer rules, the single-source-of-truth registry that prevents parallel implementations, fluidity hot paths that must stay sub-frame, and runtime-object documentation. Read it before non-trivial changes.
