It is decades since I last used DATA statements for internal data. Pre-filled arrays are more flexible. For external data bitmap images are very convenient, for Basics that support images.

On any MM with a screen the lazy way is to create the BMP by writing pixels to the screen then SAVE BMP "...". In the program needing the data load the BMP then read back the pixels from the screen. As most screens are RGB(565) it is possible to get 16 bits per pixel, but as I am lazy it is easier with 3 bits per pixel.
