readbitmap-package

readbitmap

The readbitmap package enables users to read the three main general purpose 
bitmap image formats (jpeg, png, bmp) without having to specify the image 
type directly. This is provided by a single function 
<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/read.bitmap?package=readbitmap&version=0.1.5" data-mini-rdoc="readbitmap::read.bitmap">read.bitmap</a></code>, which uses a second function 
<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/image_type?package=readbitmap&version=0.1.5" data-mini-rdoc="readbitmap::image_type">image_type</a></code>, which is also exported for users, to identify the 
image type of a file using appropriate magic values encoded in the 
first few bytes of the image header. Images can therefore have any file
extension.

package

Identifies and reads Windows BMP, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF format bitmap
images. Identification defaults to the use of the magic number embedded in
the file rather than the file extension. Reading of JPEG and PNG image
depends on libjpg and libpng libraries. See file INSTALL for details if
necessary.

readbitmap-package function

The readbitmap package enables users to read the three main general purpose 
bitmap image formats (jpeg, png, bmp) without having to specify the image 
type directly. This is provided by a single function 
<code><a rd-options='' href='read.bitmap'>read.bitmap</a></code>, which uses a second function 
<code><a rd-options='' href='image_type'>image_type</a></code>, which is also exported for users, to identify the 
image type of a file using appropriate magic values encoded in the 
first few bytes of the image header. Images can therefore have any file
extension.
