A Go package for reading and writing BMP image files.
To download and install, at a command prompt type:
go get github.com/jsummers/gobmp
Gobmp is designed to work the same as Go's standard image modules. Importing it will automatically cause the image.Decode function to support reading BMP files.
The documentation may be read online at GoDoc.
Or, after installing, type:
godoc github.com/jsummers/gobmp | more
The decoder supports almost all types of BMP images.
By default, the encoder will write a 24-bit RGB image, or a 1-, 4-, or 8-bit paletted image. Support for 32-bit RGBA images can optionally be enabled. Writing compressed images is not supported.
Gobmp is distributed under an MIT-style license.
