Image::BMP 1.13

Image::BMP is a bitmap parser/viewer.
SYNOPSIS
use Image::BMP;
# Example one:
my $img = new Image::BMP(
file => some.bmp,
debug => 1,
);
$img->view_ascii;
# Example two:
my $img2 = new Image::BMP;
$img2->open_file(another.bmp);
my $color = $img2->xy(100,100); # Get pixel at 100,100
my ($r,$g,$b) = $img2->xy_rgb(100,200);
Image::BMP objects can parse and even ascii view bitmaps of the .BMP format. It can read most of the common forms of this format.
It can be used to:
Just get image info, dont read the whole image:
my $img = new Image::BMP(file => some.bmp);
print "Resolution: $img->{Width} x $img->{Height}n";
View images
(See C< SYNOPSIS > example one)
Read images and poke at pixels
(See C< SYNOPSIS > example two)
Parse through all pixel data
(See C< ADD_PIXEL > below)
It does not currently write bmap data, simply because I didnt have a use for that yet. Convince me and Ill add it.
Version restrictions:
4-bit RLE compression
- I havent seen an image like this yet, it wouldnt be hard to add.
bitfields compression
- I dont even know what that is..
RLE delta compression
- This isnt tested yet - I havent seen an image that uses this portion of RLE compression, so it currently does what I think is right and then prints a message asking you to send me the image/results.
