I just finished up with a simple project we had for Computer Science 1302 and I saw that there was extra credit for it and I was wondering if any of you could help me out with it. The program itself simply takes a BMP image and makes it black and white and creates the new output file within the same folder as the original image (Which has to be in your projects folder). The extra credit that I simply need help with is : [b]show the outputted file in a ScrollPane (hint: requires ImageIO class to show a BMP in an ImageIcon).[/b] Here is the code: [quote] import java.io.*; import javax.swing.*; public class Bitmapper { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { //ask user for a file (BMP) to open JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser(); int status = chooser.showOpenDialog(null); if (status != JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) { JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "No file chosen."); } else { File file = chooser.getSelectedFile(); String outfile = chooser.getSelectedFile().getParentFile().getAbsolutePath(); String inName = file.getName(); // input file name to string outfile += "\\" + inName.substring(0, inName.length() -4) + "_gray.bmp"; // generate output file name // Handling binary (not text) data, so use FileInputStream FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file); FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(outfile); int B, G, R = 0; int counter = 0; while((B=in.read())!=-1) { if (++counter>54) // skip past Bitmap headers { G = in.read(); //read green and blue bytes R = in.read(); int gray = (B + G + R)/3; B = gray; G = gray; R = gray; out.write(R); out.write(G); //B = Math.min(B+100, 255); // Lighten image } out.write(B); } in.close(); out.close(); } } } [/quote]
