Example image

The pictplot package includes an image data, which is useful when you want to see how a function works right away. The variable name of the image is regatta.

Internally, this is just a numeric array of size 450 x 600 x 3 [y-coordinate, x-coordinate, color channel], meaning that it is 450 pix height and 600 pix width, and has three color channels (Red, Green, and Blue). Each element of the array represents a pixel value, which can range between 0 and 1.

dim(regatta)
#> [1] 450 600   3

Image size information can be shown by typing the variable name.

regatta
#> image: 450 [height] x 600 [width] x 3 [colour channels]

To plot an image, use the plot() function.

plot(regatta)

Load an image

To load an image you like, use the im_load() function.

im = im_load("path/to/your/image.jpg")

The jpg, png, and bmp formats are supported.

You can load an image from the web (URL). For example,

im = im_load("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tsuda16k/pictplot/master/notes/face.png")
plot(im)

will load an image of a face.
