I'm trying to decide which display I should order, but I'm not sure which one would be the right one.

These are my alternatives: GLK12232-25 (Graphic LCD) and LK204-25 (Char LCD)

How do I display the text on the graphical LCD? Do I have to create any bitmaps for getting a text on the display, or do I upload a char-map to the displays memory, and call each char in the same way as in the char-LCD?

In other words: Can I build a custom character-map and replace each cells character as displayed in <a href="http://www.lcdforums.com/forums/viewtop ... &forum=2&4" target="_new">This</a> matrix?

The graphic LCDs have fonts that you upload to them where as the Alpha Numeric ones have a character set built dirrectly into them. When you get a graphic LCD we upload 2 fonts by default but they can be replaced by others... to send text to the graphic, just send text, nothing special really.

Thanks Henry!

This is then the display I'll need
