bitmap

A single C++ header file that adds an easy way to read and write bitmap (.bmp) image files using 2D integer vectors.

documentation

std::vector<std::vector<int>> bmp::readBitmap(std::string filename)

Reads the specified bitmap image and returns as a 2D vector of integers.

void bmp::writeBitmap(std::vector<std::vector<int>> pixels, std::string filename)

Writes the specified 2D integer vector into the specified bitmap image.

notes

• Header currently only supports 24-bit RGB bitmaps.
• Header assumes little-endian processor.

usage (g++)

Make sure to #include "bitmap.h" in your main file, and then compile using g++ main.cpp bitmap.cpp.
