- I would like to open a windows bitmapped-file (*.BMP)
- from Paintbrush for Windows (16(?) color, VGA screen)
- and load the color-values, pixel-by-pixel, into an array.
- I would like the final integer array to consist of numbers
- like: 1, 16, 16, 2, 2, 2, 5 ..... etc. so that each represents
- the total (RGB) color present at each pixel. I'm writing code
- in FORTRAN although QBASIC or C suggestions would be helpful
- as well.
-
- Why is it so hard to find structure info on *.BMP files?
-
- OPEN (7, status='old', mode='binary',file='image.bmp')
- read(7,100)
- 100 format (???????)
-
- Thanks in advance for your help!
