Using the generated file

Place image.h in your sketch's project folder. To find this folder, go to Sketch → Show Sketch Folder in Arduino IDE.

Then include it and draw the image:

#include "Inkplate.h"
#include "image.h"    // Generated by the Image Converter tool

Inkplate display; // Inkplate 2 uses three-color mode (Black, White & Red)

void setup() {
    display.begin();
    display.clearDisplay();

    // image, image_w, and image_h are defined in image.h
    display.image.draw(image, 0, 0, image_w, image_h);

    display.display();
}

void loop() {}
