How to get pixel data in the format I want

I'm writing a format plug-in and am having some difficulty getting the pixel data from photoshop in the format I want. From what I gather from the documentation in the SDK I need to specify the following to tell photoshop what format to deliver my pixels in:
theRect
loPlane
hiPlane
data
colBytes
rowBytes
planeBytes
planeMap
I specify all of these appropriately for a 32 bit rgba8888 uncompresssed image and it works just fine... but ONLY if the image I load in the first place matches the format I am requesting. If the image I load is some other format, like a 256 color image with a palette, gFormatRecord->advanceState() just fails with a nebulous -30500 error code (formatBadParameters) instead of delivering pixel data.
So my big question is this: Is Photoshop capable of doing the conversion and delivering the pixels to my format plug-in in my requested format? If it CAN do it, what might I be doing wrong? Please help! Thanks!!

You noticed you can use the planeMap[] array to permute the channels. It's not so obvious that Photoshop should offer generalised bit depth/colour space/palette processing. It can be argued that's the role of the plugin itself: to mediate between Photoshop's native image data (which it does offer conveniently) and whatever arbitrary image format the user requires. At least, that's what most of
my plugins do.
Sure, there are a few obvious conversions, but you have to stop somewhere... Sooner or later you'll be implementing stuff on the Photoshop side that
should be in a plugin. I don't have a big problem with the line drawn in the current API.

  • How to convert internal date to the format of user default setting

    In the BDC program, I need to convert the date, such as the sy-datum 20070427, to the format of user default that is defined in T-code SU01, such as YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY.MM.DD, and so on.
    The user format has 6 six kinds, and it is not good idea to write the code to process. So I look for the functions or CLASS method to process. I can use the function 'ITS_GET_USER_DEFAULTS' to get the user default setting of the Date format and Decimal notation.The problem is that I can not find the function or CLASS method to convert the internal date to user's date format.
    The function: CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL can not do it.
    The CLASS method: cl_abap_datfm=>conv_date_int_to_ext may be do it. But I do know how exchange the parameters, and fail to make it work finely.
    Is there the functions or CLASS method to process it?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi John,
    create a veriable :
    data: v_date type char10.
    then after getting the date in YYYYMMDD format, write the following statement.
    WRITE SY-DATUM TO V_DATE.
    this might solve your problem.

  • How to get  --Last date of the Last value .

    Dear All,
    I have a report like
    Material – Country – Current Price
    1112-----  Singapore  -
      100
    1112-----  Japan  -
      120
    1112-----  Malesia   -
      99
    Here current price is Last Value of the particular Material on particular Date.
    This I can get based on Key figure Aggregation ( Last Value and reference Character 0CALDAY ), It is giving the last Value of the Particular Material.
    Now my user wants to see Last date of the value ( Date of the Value )
    Example :-
    Material – Country –  Date --Current Price
    1112-----  Singapore  -
    01/04/2008 -- 100
    1112-----  Japan  -
    04/05/2008 -- 120
    1112-----  Malesia   -
    05/05/2008 -- 99
    If  I drill down the date in my  report  it is showing all dates , my user wants to see only last date .
    Hope some one has solved this issue , please help me to solve this issue.
    Regards,
    SHAIK.

    I have created a keyfigure with date as a data type.
    In aggregation tab, I selected  aggregation Maximum.
    Upto DSO, data is Loaded perfect. Ok.
    I added the same key figure in cube , When I am trying to Activate the Transformation,
    It is giving Error message.
    Rule 17 is invalid and is being deleted. The reason for this is that a field or InfoObject that is used in rule 17 has been deleted in the source or target of the transformation ODSO ZPL_DSO1 -> CUBE ZPLATT_C (0GH6MHANQ2J79LXZBLGIJ9ZK9LWHK6RS)

    the issue comes when i have to concat 2 dates as:

    WHY??????
    10/DEC - 16/DEC
    (weeks n° 50)
    how can i turn the month DEC in DIC?or more simple in number as --> 10/12 - 16/12???
    at the beginning, i thought to the replace function, but i should to make a Replace nasted... or some kind of case when...

    Create a variable as below:
    [ctgt1type]=Count([type]) ForEach([username]) In Report>1
    Then create a filter with this condition:
    [ctgt1type]=1
    This might work. I tried this with the Islands marketing universe selecting customer and country to display only customers with multiple countries. But your original soulton is more elegant and with report level filters more development and maintenance efforts are required

    I have a situation where i need to find the start day of the period for a given date. is there a way to know that. i want to use that in my report. i enter the date from my report(i have date parameter), depends on the date, i want to display the start day
    of the period. how can i write expression for that in my report?
    ram

    Hi ramprasad74,
    According to your description, you are using Analysis Services as a data source for the report, the cube has hierarchy: Fyear, FQuarter, FPeriod, fweek, Fdate. You want to add a date parameter to the report, after you changed value of the parameter, the
    report will return the first day of FPeriod.
    To achieve your goal, we need to add a parameter to the report, then use the parameter in mdx query. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
    In the Report Data pane, right-click on a dataset created from a SQL Server Analysis Services data source type, and then click Query. The MDX query designer opens in Design mode.
    On the toolbar, click Design to toggle to Query mode.
    On the MDX query designer toolbar, click Query Parameters symbol. The Query Parameters dialog box opens.
    In the Parameter column, click <Enter Parameter>, and then type the name of a parameter.
    In the Dimension column, choose a value from the drop-down list.
    In the Hierarchy column, choose a value from the drop-down list.
    In the Default column, from the drop-down list, select a single value.
    Click OK. 
    In query designer dialog box, type the mdx query like below:
    with member [Measures].[FirstChild]
    as
    [Date].[Fiscal].currentmember.parent.firstchild.name
    select {[Measures].[FirstChild]} on 0,
    [Date].[Fiscal].[Date].members on 1
    from
    ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@ParameterName, CONSTRAINED) ) on 0
    from
    [Cube]

  • How to get values/data stored in the database into a list-item.

    how to get values/data stored in the database into a list-item.
    i tried to make a list item without any values assigned to it...but i got the below error.
    FRM-30191: No list items defined for required poplist.
    or
    FRM-32082: Invalid value for given item type.
    List EMPNO
    Item: EMPNO
    Block: EMP
    Form: MODULE5
    FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output.
    then according to some docs, i tried the the following for the trigger
    when-new-form-instance
    declare
         rg_name varchar2(40) := 'emp_rec';
         status number;
         groupid recordgroup;
         it_id item;
    begin
         it_id := Find_Item('empno');
         groupid := create_group_from_query(rg_name, 'select empno from emp');
         status := populate_group(groupid);
         populate_list(it_id, groupid);
    end;
    but yet didnt work... :(
    so how the heck do i get values fetched from the database table into the list item?

    for list items you need to values in the record group, one is the shown value and one is the returned value.
    Check out the online help for the populate_list built-in.
    You'll need something like select ename,ename from emp as the record group query.

  • How do I get routing data from the Map App (powered by TomTom) so I can display the point-to-point annotations (turn-by-turn navigation) without leaving my own application.

    I have a tableView displaying a list of contacts from a Cloud Database.  After selecting a contact, I push to a programmatically created MKMapView.  Then I display the initial region (the view) that includes the users current location (starting point) and their selected destination (end point).
    Now I want to display annotations (as described in the Location Awareness Programming Guide) that displays polylines which will represent the turn-by-turn navigation IN MY OWN APPLICATION, and not in the Map App currently used in IOS6. 
    Due to licensing and its becoming depricated in IOS 6, I do not want to get routing data from the Google Maps API.  How do I get routing data from the IOS 6 Map App (powered by TomTom) so I can display the point-to-point annotations (turn-by-turn navigation) without leaving my own application?
    I checked out Stack Overflow and other forums which basically left me with the impression that this is not possible. I also checked out the TomTom iPhone Mobile SDK User Guide from the TomTom Developer Portal and am still confused.  It must be possible to retrieve routes, since the Map App can display turn-by-turn directions.  How can I retrieve turn-by-turn data that I may display as a route within my own application?

    Thanks Michael. Apologies for the slow reply I was away for a bit (holiday blitz at work and visiting family madness etc.etc.) back now, I set both options you requested to "never " and retried the CMS software with no change. 
    I do have progress of a sort though, as a test I took a separate test PC and put a clean install of Win7 on and loaded up the CMS software (it worked perfectly) and then took the version of ole32.dll off that machine and put it onto the computer I had built
    for her (using Linux) and...
    got a new error code. Darn I was so sure I had found a clever solution this time lol.
    Anyway now when the CMS fails it gives me a similar error but the offending module is "ntdll.dll" sooo... I tried taking the "working" version of ntdll.dll from the test box and moving it over (making sure to back up the existing ones
    first so I could put them back if needed) to her new PC and the PC would not boot. 
    It seems to want the original versions of a few Dynamic Link Libraries and if I could somehow give it those while not breaking Win7 it should theoretically work seeing as it no longer errors with ole32.dll. 
    ntdll.dll however seems necessary for Win7 to boot.
    So what I am wondering now is:
    Is there some way to have both versions of the DLL file in the system32 folder (bypassing the "cannot have two files with the exact same name in the same folder" thing) or rename the original DLL's something else and somehow make the CMS look for
    the new named versions so the system has the updated DLL's it needs to boot/run and the CMS has the old ones it wants to run or is there someway to have a self contained install of the CMS, say on a USB flash drive and give it it's own E:/windows/system32/needed
    dll's  path to the files it needs? 
    Willing to try any other options or settings you may have come up with as well.
    Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for not answering sooner.

  • Convert colour images to grayscale images & get pixel data from them

    Is the code below correct to convert colour images to grayscale images in Java?
    public void convertToGrayscale (String sourceName,String destName) throws Exception {
    JPEGImageDecoder decoder=JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder(new FileInputStream(sourceName));
    JPEGImageEncoder encoder=JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(new FileOutputStream(destName));
    BufferedImage sourceImg=decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();
    BufferedImageOp op =new ColorConvertOp(
              ColorSpace.getInstance(ColorSpace.CS_GRAY),null);
         BufferedImage destImg = op.filter(sourceImg,null);
    encoder.encode(destImg);
    decoder = null;
    encoder = null;
    When I get grayscale images from the code below, I would like to access the pixels of those images. So I tried to do:
    byte[] dd=((DataBufferByte)mImage.getRaster().getDataBuffer()).getData();
    BUT the data result array is not 0-255. Could anyone suggest how to obtain pixel data from grayscale images?
    In case that my code shown is not correct or suitable, please give your advice. What I would like to do are in the steps as follows:
    1 change 100*70 jpeg-images to 100*70 grayscale images.
    2 create two dimensional array of pixel data (example [100][70]) from converted images. The number in the array should be between 0-255, right??? And 0 refers to black colour and 255 refers to white colour???
    I am confused about grayscale images. Please help.
    Thank you so much

    I am not sure i understand what is the problem exactly.
    Structure of DataBuffer is described by SampleModel used by same Raster
    object. E.g. it might be 1 byte per xipex or 4 bytes per pixel.
    In your example convertToGrayscale saves images to file as JPEG and
    it seems you later read it back. It is possible what image you read back
    is not greyscale but ARGB and data buffer has different format.
    Technically, if you just need level of grey you may simply
    call getRGB on your output image. Grey is uniform mix of R, G and B.
    Also, instead of ColorConverOp you may dimply create output image of
    grayscale type and draw your color input image with drawImage().
    If none of these helps please try to provide more details.

  • HT4889 Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive?

    Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive? Should I use Carbon Copy or does apple have a better untility to do this?
    I can't get my current system drive (OSX 10.8.3) to start on the first try. I always have to shut down and restart again to finally see the Apple logo.
    Have used disc utility to repair the disc and permissions several times and that works. The next time I boot up, it works fine and I get the apple logo, but then the second time I boot up, it's back to the blank screen again and it only boots after the second try.  I have tried this repair three different times now always with the same result. Works right the first try (after the repair) then from the second time on it doesn't work. I just get the white screen until I reboot a second time.
    Thinking I should change drives but what's the easist and best way to move everything over to the new drive so it will boot correctly with all my data on it. This is the system drive for a Pro Tools 10HD setup. MacPro 3,1 with 16 gigs ram and OSX10.8.3 on it.
    Thanks for any help!

    If you have a time machine back up of your current drive you can do this
    Shut down your computer, install the new drive. While the computer is off plug in the external hard drive that you have your time machine back up on. Hold Option key while the computer turnes on, let go of the option key once you get a grey screen. Shortly after you'll see  a list of bootable drives, select the one that has your time machine back up on it and boot into that drive.
    From there go into disk utility, format your new drive too, osx extended journaled ( I think, double check that, its been awhile since ive had to do this), hit format
    Exit disk utility and then you can use time machine to copy all your exisit data to the new hhd and then your pretty much done.
    There is also a program called Carbon Cloner that will do esentially the same thing however I've never uesed it.
