Open BMP file as a table?

miguello — Thu, 28 May 2020 18:53:59 GMT

Any suggestions on how to open\convert a BMP (bitmap image) file as\to a table?

Ideally would like to have columns like X, Y, R, G, B with all the information, so that when plotted would resemble actual BMP.

Might be some external converter first, then open a CSV file, might be a script that reads binary file and poarses into a tble, might be some built in function?

Hmm, this looks useful.

@Mark_Bailey pointed to exactly the right first step. The << Get Pixels() message is the next step. Check out for an example, and for an application to do it automatically. Thanks to @JohnPonte for these great contributions.
