A simple question involving the color of a pixel?

I'm just wondering, I'm using a BufferedImage to load an image and retrieve the pixels by their location in an image. I looked through the APIs, but I can't seem to figure out how to find the shade of each pixel. I understand that each color has a range within the possibilities of the int returned in the method getRGB(). Does the range denote the shade? Or does the alpha value perhaps? I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

What do you mean by the "shade"? Do you mean hue?
You might want to look at the HSBtoRGB and RGBtoHSB methods. HSB is a way to describe colors via their hue, saturation, and brightness.
The alpha value indicates the transparency of the pixel.
Just out of curiosity, what are you doing?

  • Get the color of a pixel in an image

    how can i do to get the color of a pixel in an image ???
    Can anyone help me ?

    Hi,
    first of all you need to get the library to transfer your image to java.awt.image.BufferedImage object.
    I know many such libraries. Its depends of what kind of image you have: jpeg, gif, png or other.
    And when you get the BufferedImage of you picture using library, then you can get the color of any pixel in image using int BufferedImage.getRGB(int x, int y) as integer value.

  • Get the color of a pixel on the Stage

    Is there a way to retrieve the color of a generic pixel on the screen using the mouse pointer inside the Stage of Flash Player? With the getPixel method of the BitmapData class you can get the color of a pixel only if the mouse is over a bitmap image, but what if I need the color a generic pixel on the screen?

    this takes a snapshot of the pixel below the mouse:
    function eventHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
         var bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(1, 1, false, 0x000000);
         var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
         matrix.translate(event.stageX, event.stageY);
         //can never remember which way translate works so it could be:
         //matrix.translate(-event.stageX, -event.stageY);
         bmd.draw(stage, matrix);
         var pixelColour:uint = bmd.getPixel(0, 0);

  • Setting the color of individual pixels in a bufferedimage

    i am trying to set the color of each pixel in a loop as follows:-
    BufferedImage bi=new BufferedImage(w,h,BufferedImage.TYPE-INT_RGB);
    for(int j=0;j<h;j++){
    for(int i=0;i<w;i++){
    pixel=translate(i,j);
    clr=findcolor(pixel);
    if(clr==-1){
    bi.setRGB(i,j,0);
    else
    bi.setRGB(i,j,clr);
    findcolor() function just returns an int, so how do take this integer value and set the appropriate color?
    when i execute this code,in the PaintComponent method of a JPanel class, my entire panel becomes black, this is not because of my first "if" condition.i checked the return value of my findcolor function.
    However if i multiply the color value by a large number like 10000, then i get a few colors only(black,blue, green)
    So please let me know how i can get all colors, without having to multiply the value.

    What do the translate and findcolor methods do?

  • SIMPLE QUESTION: Change background color

    Hello mates, I have a really simple question.
    I want to change the color of my project from (default) black to white.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Ben,
    I'm still not sure if you are looking to change the PrPro GUI (the display of the interface), or some aspect within your Project. If the "background" is what is seen in your Program Monitor, then creating a Color Matte on Video Track 1 will likely be the answer. You can choose the color that you desire and anything on the upper Video Tracks, that do not occupy the full Frame Size will have that Color Matte as the "background."
    For the GUI, Harm has addressed that, but I do not think that is what you are asking for.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    PS an attached (use the little "camera" icon in the middle of the editing screen's Toolbar) screen-cap of your Timeline and your Program Monitor might clear things up a bit, in case you have not found the answer already. Just add some text to it in PS along the lines of "this is what I have now, but want to change it to a blue color... "

  • Simple question on the main method

    Hello,
    I have a very simple question and hope that somebody 'out there' can help me on this topic:
    I just want to pass some Strings to the main method, which means that I want to do sth. like this:
    java ProgramXY parameter1, parameter2
    I thought it was possible to access these parameters in my main method like the following:
    public static void main(String argv[]) {
    System.out.println(argv[0]);
    System.out.println(argv[1]);
    But it does not work. So what do I do wrong ? Thank you for your help,
    Findus

    That should actually work - though you don't use the comma - just spaces. I don't think a comma would screw things up though - it would just become part of parameter 1.
    Of course, you still want to check argv.length to make sure you don't try reading an array member that doesn't exist.
    What are you seeing if you're not seeing your parameters?
    If you're not putting enough parameters, it MIGHT be possible that you're getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception before the first System.out.println's are flushed to the screen - unsure though.

    I'm kind of new to java, and I'm currently working on a university project involving the wellknown java turtle. Does any of you know how to change the turtle into another thing, like replacing the drawing of the turtle with a jpeg for instance? (I am using Guzdials turtle class)
    Thanks for helping!

    I have some preliminary questions regarding the Xcode (objective C):
    What is the difference between the programming files followed by .h and .m?

    Is there any source that briefly explains the most common codes with examples (nsstring, nsarray, iboutlet, inaction.....etc)?
    Any other tips will be highly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    Xcode is the IDE.

  • Colors Question: why the colors of my applet semm darker ...

    Well, the title almost says it all.
    I developed my applet using some colors.Also, i use a LAF (plastic 3D LAF) and the problem is that my applet when launched from Internet Explorer has this darker view.
    What can i do?Maybe set the colors originally more brighter?
    Thank you,
    Chris

    Depends on the colour depth of the graphics modes.
    Eg. if you develop and view your colours in a 32-bit true colour machine, it should look good.
    If you run it on a low-end PC with a graphics mode of only 256 colours, then Windows automatically tries to find the nearest and best matched colour within a limited palette of 256 colours.
    it's called "realising the palette" I think.
    On top of that, each computer screen will have different contrast, brightness and "gamma correction" settings.

  • Simple question: does the Nvidia proprietary driver support OGL ES 2 ?

    Just the question in the title. Does it support opengl es 2.0 (coming with Kwin 4.7)? Will it (if somebody knows) ?

    OpenGL ES is just a stripped down subset of OpenGL, so I see no reason why it shouldn't be. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

  • Sampling the color of a pixel

    I have a very simple question: Is it possible for applescript to sample the color of a specific pixel on my screen and store it in a variable? (or three variables as the case may be)
    Thanks

    I knew I saw something like this earlier, but it took me a little while to find it.
    There is a scripting addition called XTools that lets you move the mouse from AppleScript - it is available at http://lestang.org/osax/XTool/XTool-2.0.dmg.tgz . With XTools installed, it is a simple matter to move the mouse to where you want, then tell DigitalColor Meter to copy the color to the clipboard (it isn't scriptable, but you can use keystrokes):
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #FFEE80;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    move mouse {500, 500} -- requires XTool OSAX
    tell application "DigitalColor Meter"
    activate
    tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using {shift down, command down}
    end tell
    log (get the clipboard)

  • Getting the Color of a Pixel in a Image

    Hi. I need to get the Color of the point in an Image (or ImageIcon). I've seen examples but they use BufferedImages.
    Thanks, Bob

    Here is a simple conversion for you:
    BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(myImage, myImage.getWidth(null), myImage.getHeight(null), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
    Graphics g = bi.getGraphics():
    g.drawImage(myImage, 0, 0, null);If you are using ImageObserver objects, then replace null with the corresponding ImageObserver object in the BufferedImage and drawImage.

  • A simple question about the Integration process and the PI system

    Hi all
    Out PI system gets more and more slowly .
    in the Monitor I can se that there are many ufinished IP about 100.
    in the Outbound colon there is a Watch icon with the message
    QMessage being sent                     
    and in the graphic of the IP thers is a Send Message Asynchronously  with text in process.
    my question is can those unfineshed IP be guilty in slowing down the system by taking resources, they have been there for quit a long time .
    Thanks

    Hi again
    I have checked sm12 , no locks
    theres is no mapping involved in this step , the IP is trying to send a file to  server.
    I just want to know if  100 unfinished IP slow down the system .
    It does not matter if the file has been sent or not
    is there any way to check those IP if they are taking resources.
    Thanks.

  • Simple question involving data signing and encryption

    What is exactly mean by signing and encrypting data?
    And how would it apply to the case of a web browser..where I have to sign and encrypt data to and from a web browser? In this case it is an output and input stream.
    Does every byte have to be signed or just the starting bytes? Singing every byte would make the process slow and inefficient

    I know if you you sign and encrypt the data to the
    web browser, it will obviously not be recognized but
    this is my scenario:Your ASCII art didn't come across at all, I'm afraid - I'm not sure what you were going for, but I can't seem to recreate it. I think I can follow the explanation, though.
    P is the program i am developing. It is supposed to
    encrypt and sign data to and from the web browser.
    P1 get the web browser request, encrypts the data
    a and is supposed to sign the data...send it
    to P2 which decrypts and verifies the signing which
    then forwards it to the proxy or the server as seen.
    Vice versa from the server response.So you're working on a web-proxy that encrypts it's transmissions, and you want to add signature verification as well.
    My question still remains...how do you sign a stream?I answered your question, actually. You don't sign "streams" - you sign "messages". In your case, you sign the entire transmission, and then you transmit it.
    Right now I am using RSA keys to send a symmetric key
    across safely for the decryption etc I have the
    encryption/decryption process covered and the browser
    works..but i didn't do signing of any sort...how to
    implement this..for every byte? Is signing necessary?Given your requirements, I have to ask - why are you re-creating SSL? If you have P1 and P2 talk SSL to each other, you get everything you've described here, including signing. I don't understand why you feel the need to recreate an existing protocol.
