I have a TGA file and a library that allready has everything that I need to read TGA and use them.
This class has a method called pixels(), that returns a pointer that is pointed to the memory area where pixel are stored as RGBRGBRGB...
My question is, how can I take the pixel value?
Cause if I make something like this:
img.load("foo.tga");
printf ("%i", img.pixels());
It gives back to me what is proprably the address.
I've found this code on this site:
struct Pixel2d
{
static const int SIZE = 50;
unsigned char& operator()( int nCol, int nRow, int RGB)
{
return pixels[ ( nCol* SIZE + nRow) * 3 + RGB];
}
unsigned char pixels[SIZE * SIZE * 3 ];
};
int main()
{
Pixel2d p2darray;
glReadPixels(50,50, 1, 1, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, &p.pixels);
for( int i = 0; i < Pixel2d::SIZE ; ++i )
{
for( int j = 0; j < Pixel2d::SIZE ; ++j )
{
unsigned char rpixel = p2darray(i , j , 0);
unsigned char gpixel = p2darray(i , j , 1);
unsigned char bpixel = p2darray(i , j , 2);
}
}
}
I think that It can work great for me, but how can I tell the program to read from my img?
Tga supports different pixel depths. And we don't know what library you're using. But generally speaking pixels() should return a pointer to a buffer containing pixels. Say for sake of argument it unpacks the pixels into 8-bit per channel subpixels, then each pixel is represented by 3 bytes.
So to access a pixel at a given offset in the buffer:
If you know the width of the image buffer then you can get a pixel by its x and y coordinates:
