      I tried nearly everything to get an temperature icon on my M5 paper display I always get something strange but not the icon.
      Not any converter did the job????
      I am blocked since a few weeks now.
      With Uniflow it is easy?
      Icon is 80 x 160
      arduino code
      const unsigned char epd_bitmap_paultestbmp [] PROGMEM = {

      };

      canvas.pushImage(50,250,80,160,epd_bitmap_paultestbmp );

        I would suggest formatting the icon as a XBM and the using drawXBitmap, no need to decode the bits yourself:

        FOexample

        #include "somexbm.h"
        ...
        M5.Display.drawXBitmap(0, 0, xbm_bits, xbm_width, xbm_height, TFT_BLACK);
        

        The .h file will have

        #define xbm_width 540
        #define xbm_height 960
        static unsigned char xbm_bits[] = {
           0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, etc
        

        You can easily produce an XBM file with GIMP or some other program. I don't remember the format, but I thiink the file is just a bitwise stream of pixels values.
