Re^2: About GD Image Data Output Methods

Pure magic, especially this line:

my $bmp = pack 'a2 V V V l< l< l< v v V V l< l< V V',
    'BM', $len + 54, 0, 54, 40, $attrs[1], $attrs[2], 1, 24, $len, 0, 
+0, 0, 0;
[download]

I tried it immediately but i can't view the file with various image processing software. In some it is simply black, some other reject it.

Examining the file i get:

karls-mac-mini:monks karl$ file mandelbrot.bmp 
mandelbrot.bmp: PC bitmap, Windows 3.x format, 1280 x 1024 x 24
[download]

This looks good, but:

karls-mac-mini:monks karl$ identify mandelbrot.bmp 
identify: unrecognized compression `mandelbrot.bmp'.
[download]

Or something is wrong with my GD installation. But i don't think so because the script would complain if something went wrong.

Thank you very much for advice. Perhaps you have a hint how to continue.

Best regards, Karl

Try this version: `my $gd = $image->gd; my( undef, $width, $height, undef, undef ) = unpack 'nnnCV', substr( $ +gd, 0, 11, '' ); my $len = length( $gd ) / 4 * 3; my $bmp = pack 'a2 V V V l< l< l< v v V V l< l< V V', 'BM', $len + 54, 0, 54, 40, $width, -$height, 1, 24, 0, $len, 0, 0 +, 0; $bmp .= join'', unpack '(xaaa)*', $gd;` [download] Looks like I had two fields transposed; even though my image viewer didn't notice (or just didn't look).

Hm. Both versions work with my image viewer. Can you make a copy of your image available to me in .gd & the converted format? Or attach them to an email to me? Are you using truecolor images?
