Task

Using the data storage type defined [[Basic_bitmap_storage|on this page]] for raster images, read an image from a PPM file (binary P6 prefered). (Read [[wp:Netpbm_format|the definition of PPM file]] on Wikipedia.)

'''Task''': Use [[write ppm file]] solution and [[grayscale image]] solution with this one in order to convert a color image to grayscale one.

The implementation propagates Data_Error when the file format is incorrect. End_Error is propagated when the file end is prematurely met. The following example illustrates conversion of a color file to grayscale.

declare
   F1, F2 : File_Type;
begin
   Open (F1, In_File, "city.ppm");
   Create (F2, Out_File, "city_grayscale.ppm");
   Put_PPM (F2, Color (Grayscale (Get_PPM (F1))));
   Close (F1);
   Close (F2);
end;

C

It is up to the caller to open the file and pass the handler to the function. So this code can be used in [[Read image file through a pipe]] without modification. It only understands the P6 file format.

Interface:

image get_ppm(FILE *pf);

Implementation:

#include "imglib.h"

#define PPMREADBUFLEN 256
image get_ppm(FILE *pf)
{
        char buf[PPMREADBUFLEN], *t;
        image img;
        unsigned int w, h, d;
        int r;

        if (pf == NULL) return NULL;
        t = fgets(buf, PPMREADBUFLEN, pf);
        /* the code fails if the white space following "P6" is not '\n' */
        if ( (t == NULL) || ( strncmp(buf, "P6\n", 3) != 0 ) ) return NULL;
        do
        { /* Px formats can have # comments after first line */
           t = fgets(buf, PPMREADBUFLEN, pf);
           if ( t == NULL ) return NULL;
        } while ( strncmp(buf, "#", 1) == 0 );
        r = sscanf(buf, "%u %u", &w, &h);
        if ( r < 2 ) return NULL;

        r = fscanf(pf, "%u", &d);
        if ( (r < 1) || ( d != 255 ) ) return NULL;
        fseek(pf, 1, SEEK_CUR); /* skip one byte, should be whitespace */

        img = alloc_img(w, h);
        if ( img != NULL )
        {
            size_t rd = fread(img->buf, sizeof(pixel), w*h, pf);
            if ( rd < w*h )
            {
               free_img(img);
               return NULL;
            }
            return img;
        }
}

The following acts as a filter to convert a PPM file read from standard input into a PPM gray image, and it outputs the converted image to standard output (see [[Grayscale image]], [[Write ppm file]], and [[Raster graphics operations]] in general):

#include <stdio.h>
#include "imglib.h"

int main()
{
   image source;
   grayimage idest;

   source = get_ppm(stdin);
   idest = tograyscale(source);
   free_img(source);
   source = tocolor(idest);
   output_ppm(stdout, source);
   free_img(source); free_img((image)idest);
   return 0;
}

        reader.ReadChar(); //Eat the last newline
        int width = int.Parse(widths),

'''Notes''':

  • doing formatted I/O with Fortran is a pain... And unformatted does not mean ''free''; Fortran2003 has ''streams'', but they are not implemented (yet) in GNU Fortran compiler. Here (as in the write part) I've tried to handle the PPM format through formatted I/O. The tests worked but I have not tried still everything.
  • comments after the first line are not handled

Haskell

The definition of Bitmap.Netpbm.readNetpbm is given [[Write ppm file|here]].

import Bitmap
import Bitmap.RGB
import Bitmap.Gray
import Bitmap.Netpbm

import Control.Monad
import Control.Monad.ST

main =
    (readNetpbm "original.ppm" :: IO (Image RealWorld RGB)) >>=
    stToIO . toGrayImage >>=
    writeNetpbm "new.pgm"

The above writes a PGM, not a PPM, since the image being output is in grayscale. If you actually want a gray PPM, convert the Image RealWorld Gray back to an Image RealWorld RGB first:

main =
    (readNetpbm "original.ppm" :: IO (Image RealWorld RGB)) >>=
    stToIO . (toRGBImage <=< toGrayImage) >>=
    writeNetpbm "new.ppm"

Uses makeRGB from [[Basic bitmap storage#J|Basic bitmap storage]].

'''Example:'''

Using utilities and file from [[Grayscale image#J|Grayscale image]] and [[Write ppm file#J|Write ppm file]].

Writes a gray PPM file (a color format) which is bigger than necessary. A PGM file would be more appropriate.

Tcl

{{libheader|Tk}} The actual PPM reader is built into the photo image engine:

package require Tk

proc readPPM {image file} {
    $image read $file -format ppm
}

Thus, to read a PPM, convert it to grayscale, and write it back out again becomes this (which requires Tcl 8.6 for try/finally); the PPM reader and writer are inlined because they are trivial at the script level:

package require Tk

proc grayscaleFile {filename {newFilename ""}} {
    set buffer [image create photo]
    if {$newFilename eq ""} {set newFilename $filename}
    try {
        $buffer read $filename -format ppm
        set w [image width $buffer]
        set h [image height $buffer]
        for {set x 0} {$x<$w} {incr x} {
            for {set y 0} {$y<$h} {incr y} {
                lassign [$buffer get $x $y] r g b
                set l [expr {int(0.2126*$r + 0.7152*$g + 0.0722*$b)}]
                $buffer put [format "#%02x%02x%02x" $l $l $l] -to $x $y
            }
        }
        $buffer write $newFilename -format ppm
    } finally {
        image delete $buffer
    }
}

However, the Tk library also has built-in the ability to convert code to grayscale directly during the saving of an image to a file, leading to this minimal solution:

package require Tk

proc grayscaleFile {filename {newFilename ""}} {
    set buffer [image create photo]
    if {$newFilename eq ""} {set newFilename $filename}
    try {
        $buffer read $filename -format ppm
        $buffer write $newFilename -format ppm -grayscale
    } finally {
        image delete $buffer
    }
}

UNIX Shell

{{works with|ksh93}} Ref: [[Bitmap#UNIX Shell]]

Add the following functions to the RGBColor_t type

    function setrgb {
        _.r=$1
        _.g=$2
        _.b=$3
    }
    function grayscale {
        integer x=$(( round( 0.2126*_.r + 0.7152*_.g + 0.0722*_.b ) ))
        _.r=$x
        _.g=$x
        _.b=$x

                c.setrgb ${_.data[y][x]}
                c.grayscale
                _.data[y][x]=$(c.to_s)
            done
        done
    }

    function read {
        exec 4<"$1"
        typeset filetype
        read -u4 filetype
        if [[ $filetype != "P3" ]]; then
            print -u2 "error: I can only read P3 type PPM files"
        else
            read -u4 _.width _.height
            integer maxval
            read -u4 maxval
            integer x y r g b
            typeset -a bytes
            for ((y=0; y<_.height; y++)); do
                read -u4 -A bytes
                for ((x=0; x<_.width; x++)); do
                    r=${bytes[3*x+0]}
                    g=${bytes[3*x+1]}
                    b=${bytes[3*x+2]}
                    if (( r > maxval || g > maxval || b > maxval )); then
                        print -u2 "error: invalid color ($r $g $b), max=$maxval"
                        return 1

                done
            done
        fi
        exec 4<&-
    }

Now we can:

Bitmap_t c
c.read "$HOME/tmp/bitmap.ppm"
c.to_s

if [[ $(c.to_s) == $(cat "$HOME/tmp/bitmap.ppm") ]]; then
    echo looks OK
else
    echo something is wrong
fi

c.grayscale
c.to_s
c.write "$HOME/tmp/bitmap_g.ppm"

Vedit macro language

//   Load a PPM file

Example of usage. In addition to LOAD_PPM routine above, you need routine RGB_TO_GRAYSCALE from [[Grayscale image]] and routine SAVE_PPM from [[Write ppm file]].

// Load RGB image

Call("LOAD_PPM")

// Convert to grayscale
#10 = Buf_Num
Call("RGB_TO_GRAYSCALE")
Buf_Switch(#10) Buf_Quit(OK)

// Convert to RGB
Call("GRAYSCALE_TO_RGB")

// Save the image
Reg_Set(10, "|(USER_MACRO)\example_gray.ppm")
Call("SAVE_PPM")

// Cleanup and exit
Buf_Switch(#20) Buf_Quit(OK)
