The Matrix Image Viewer or LmiViewer is a program that displays LMI, EVA and PAK images and animations.
The LMI and PAK formats are simple uncompressed binary image representation that are easy to decode on low spec microcontrollers such as ESP12/8266/32, Arduino, Teensy etc. The format is well suited for small TFT-displays or large LED matrix displays. While LMI are capable of storing color information in various bit lengths (1-bit mono, 8-bit, 16-bit and 24-bit RGB as well as 32-bit RGBA) the PAK format is only stores 1-bit an is thus best suited for 1-bit monochrome displays such as the Nokia 3306 LCD and EVA stores 2-bit monochrome animations.
