FRAMED

Panel configuration file.

The panel configuration file is a binary file that describes the layout of the panels for each image frame. If it is not present, all frames are single-paneled (i.e. full screen). There are two bytes per frame, one for the number of panels in the x-direction and one for the number of panels in the y-direction. Up to 127 panels in each axis can be defined for a single frame.

If the frame has never been paneled with the PANEL command, the two bytes contain HEX 8080. If the frame was explicitly set to 1x1 geometry, the bytes contain HEX 0101. The software considers them both to represent a single panel frame.
