reading raw or gif files

[John Pierson]

i have data stored in two different ways , either will do to get the data

the giff files need to be: read - displayed -  wrote as 2d intensity data

also i have raw files (i've saved it as a .csv otherwiese the forums won't let me post it) which contain the same data but ihave no idea how to even start to read these!

HELP!!!

Hi John,

your csv-file is also a GIF image (see the same filesize...).

For reading gifs you should search the forum, once I found a library for just that purpose here!

[John Pierson]

yeah the files sizes are the same for both of them as they both are the same data, i added the extention of .csv to the .raw one as the forum won't allow me to post .raw files.

I've found allot of librarys to but none of them seem to have simply a read data and display ability, they seem to be mainly down to creating giffs.

[John Pierson]

if the raw file is read with ms paint or the normal xp viewer it shows an image, but how can i read that into labview?

I've tried changing the raw extention to .bmp etc... (i know i was being hopeful) to see if that wouldread in, but alas no.

The image toolbox by George Zhou has a Windows XP based Read image function:

I have no idea what you want with the RAW file since it does not anything to your post by adding the same file twice.

Hi John,

what do you mean? The vi from my provided link is for LV7.1. Have you tried it?

Hi, sorry my reply was to the followign post by 'A Person'

your method works nicely, just got it to display the image - sweet!

conversion from that to .bmp is rather easy now.

Cheers!

P.S - i've put your as the solution.

Uhm, maybe I am missing something, but how does these two:

1. the giff files need to be: read - displayed -  wrote as 2d intensity data

2. conversion from that to .bmp is rather easy now.

be the same?
