1-bit by pixel image

beginners
#1

Hello,

I would like to save a image in tiff or bmp format, with 1bit by pixel.
For the moment i use OF_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE format which have 8bit by pixel.

card.allocate(img.getWidth(), img.getHeight(), OF_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE);

Any idea ?

Thank :relaxed:

not image…

Thanks Tsin,

but is not a very explicit answer :smile_cat:

My question was :
Is it possible to save an image with 1bpp ?

I would love to know about that too

Finally I used easyBMP library.

Here my function :

static void saveToBitmap1BitByPixel(ofImage &img, string absolutePath){
    
    BMP bmp;
    
    //save in BMP 1 bit depth
    bmp.SetSize(img.getWidth(), img.getHeight());
    bmp.SetBitDepth(1);
    RGBApixel px;
    
    for(int y=0; y<img.getHeight(); y++){
        for(int x=0; x<img.getWidth(); x++){
            
            
            px.Red = img.getColor(x, y).r;
            px.Green = img.getColor(x, y).g;
            px.Blue = img.getColor(x, y).b;
            bmp.SetPixel(x, y, px);
        }
    }
    
    
    char pp[1024];
    strcpy(pp, absolutePath.c_str());
    
    bmp.WriteToFile(pp);
    
    
};

Hope that can be help :slight_smile:
