One can use free graphic libraries:
Targets in graphics processing
editHere are 3 targets / tasks:
- graphic file (saving/ loading image)
- memory array (processing image)
- screen pixels (displaying image)
Memory array
editImage in memory is a matrix:
- A 24-bit color image is an (Width x Height x 3) matrix.
- Gray-level and black-and-white images are of size (Width x Height).
The color depth of the image:
- 8-bit for gray
- 24 or 32-bit for color,
- 1-bit for black and white.
