This file contains functions that allow one to encode BMP images. This code is based on several Google searches for "BMP file format" and is based on no specification; nevertheless, it seems to work fairly well.

Component Detail

rawImageStream_to_BMPStream

int->bit rawImageStream_to_BMPStream(int width, int height)
Encodes an image to a bitmap (BMP) file.

Input:
<int> - An image consisting of a number of pixels equal to its width height 3. The data is ordered top to bottom, left to right, and RGB color order.
Output:
<bit> - Outputs a bitstream suitable for generating a .BMP file
Parameters:
width - The resolution width of the image. This variable is only needed until the StreamIt language supports dynamically reconfiguring splijtoins.
height - The resolution height of the image. This variable is only needed until the StreamIt language supports dynamically reconfiguring splitjoins.

BMPStream_to_rawImageStream

bit->int BMPStream_to_rawImageStream(int width, int height)
Decodes a bitmap file to a raw image

Input:
<bit> - Decodes a bitmap file to a raw image
Output:
<int> - Inputs a BMP bitstream, presumably from a .BMP file
Parameters:
width - The resolution width of the image. This variable is only needed until the StreamIt language supports dynamically reconfiguring splijtoins.
height - The resolution height of the image. This variable is only needed until the StreamIt language supports dynamically reconfiguring splitjoins.
