Handling Images in J7
from Devon McCormick <devonmcc@gmail.com> to Programming forum <programming@jsoftware.com> date Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 9:58 PM subject Re: [Jprogramming] Fractals Visualization and J
I think reading and writing images are all I use from image3, so this may be sufficient for my purposes. I'll have to try some conversions to see if this is the case.

The verb ''readimg'' in jgtk can read image files, and similar verbs are provided in ''platimg'' on J6. You don't have to use gtkide in order to use the jgtk package. Since the source code for image3 is not public, I guess it should be updated by its own authors. Or run it in J6 as suggested.

As an experienced individual approaching J for the first time, I've found Reiter's book to be quite tasty. It lets me experience actual and interesting results, in ways that seem to be rather consistent with how J is really used.
As such, I think the book can be a valuable resource for newcomers. To serve that need, however, the examples need to work as shown. I believe it would be a great service if it could be carried forward. As it stands, a noob is pretty much stopped dead when an example doesn't work.
I would help if I could. At the moment I'm too dumb to do much more than whimper.
Thanks,

Hi Charles,
There is no problem with making the source more widely available. I think it does lurk somewhere on a Lafayette server but Jsoftware would be a better place for it.
It is true that I don't have the resources to support continued development and have not spent time with J7.01 so it is not clear to me what the best strategy would be. Core is image read/write and digital camera type movie read/write also desirable. I probably could handle refreshing the J cover functions for html galleries and the like.
Best,

I could not find a DCRaw library.
I found dcraw.c and compiled it:
C:\Users\me\Downloads\dcraw>cl dcraw.c /DNO_JPEG /DNO_LCMS /O2b2 /Gry Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.30319.01 for x64 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. dcraw.c(360) : warning C4133: 'function' : incompatible types - from 'UshORt *' to 'char *' dcraw.c(360) : warning C4133: 'function' : incompatible types - from 'UshORt *' to 'char *' dcraw.c(8607) : warning C4133: 'function' : incompatible types - from 'UshORt *' to 'char *' dcraw.c(8607) : warning C4133: 'function' : incompatible types - from 'UshORt *' to 'char *' Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 10.00.30319.01 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

I put in in my path and ran it from J7:
f=:'Z:\My Pictures\2011\2011 01 29\_MG_1078.CR2'
spawn_jtask_ 'dcraw -6 -T -o 3 -w -v "',f,'"'

It seems to work fine this way, but it does not seem to provide general image support, only raw image conversion. ---

The media/platimg addon (available on J6 but not yet J7) provides native platform support for reading and writing many common image formats (not raw though).
DC can be captalised as it the initials of the continuing author Dave Coffin.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dcraw
Where did you get the file from? The definitive (?) place is
http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/
It provides no UI, only file IO, as a good unix citizen ... and is therefore supported by all platforms. When it is compiled as available to a platform with a good UI it is perhaps superior to even the various camera manufacturers’ proprietary converters, and certainly more permanent and encompassing.
Computational photography (http://u.tgu.ca/levoy+cam2) can be obtained in J ... with an IO to sources and a UI to the user.
My primary concern now is with the N900 which has a Maemo OS, a Linux type. As the only available Frankencamera (http://u.tgu.ca/Frankencamera_lite) it is a major step for the computational photography community. Is it possible to put J on the N900?
Can DCraw be added in the media/platimg addon ?

The image3 dynamic library source tarball is available here:

platimg addons aims at using native os graphic library, quartz in mac, gdiplus in window, there is no native graphic library for linux, but gtk+ is widely used enough. Also it use cd calls to dll/shared library.
Therefore I don't think platimg is a suitable host for dcraw, but maybe as a new addon. ---

Except this takes me back to my original point (and interest): the library is only available as a PPC dylib for OSX, and so won't work with j602.
So this leaves Mac users out in the cold.

Yes, I got the source from http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/dcraw/dcraw.c
Here are X64 and X86 versions of DCRAW.EXE . The only changes were to add the windows-specific include and define lines. As usual, no guarantees, etc. I did minimal testing on Win7_64 and WinXP_32.
