8.2 Using Localscr

Although WAP<> applications are primarily text, it is possible to add simple images to a card
(see Figure 8.1). In order for an image to be displayed in a WAP application, it must be in the
specially optimized Wireless Bitmap (WBMP) format. WBMP files are 1-bit graphics capable of
displaying only black and white pixels. It is recommended that you keep any graphic image as
small as possible. No graphic should exceed 150 pixels square. Be aware that some microbrowsers
do not support graphics at all, so always provide alternative text.
