it all depends on the bitmaps you are storing.. what depth? etc.
in my recent project, i managed to compress five 2bit bitmaps of
the following sizes:
152x120,
304x240,
608x480,
1216x960 and
2432x1920 into 88K
from the windows .BMP files (16bit) the compression was from
3 Megs to 88K.. i used simple runlength encoding, which also
made it easier to display the bitmaps in real time (no uncompression
(complex) was required)
cheers.
