Reading pixels from image

[Clemens Brunnow]

Hi, simple question.

I have a bmp image, which i'd like to load and then read the color values for each pixel and write it to an array.

does anybody know whether this is feasible?

Use ImageIO to read the image into a BufferedImage. You can then use the getRGB(...) method of buffered image.

Oh i forgot to mention that this should happen clientwise.
ImageIO is not supported by GWT.

Any idea how I could realise it clientwise? Or do I have to do it by sending a request to the server?

oh i didnt realise that this has been moved.
This was actually a GWT question =)

Since you did not mention it was GWT related, I moved it.

Like you rightly mentioned, GWT does not lend support to such operations.
You are left with essentially two options
1) Send the image to be processed onto the server
2) Use something like an applet embedded inside your GWT page. Of course you would need to sign the applet and the user still would need to give the applet permission to read from the disk.

I personally would go with #1
