Bitmap/Read a PPM file
Using the data storage type defined on this page for raster images, read an image from a PPM file (binary P6 prefered). (Read the definition of PPM file on Wikipedia.)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Task: Use write ppm file solution and grayscale image solution with this one in order to convert a color image to grayscale one.

C
It is up to the caller to open the file and pass the handler to the function. So this code can be used in Read image file through a pipe without modification. It only understands the P6 file format.
Interface:
<lang c>image get_ppm(FILE *pf);</lang>
Implementation:
<lang c>#include "imglib.h"
- define PPMREADBUFLEN 256
image get_ppm(FILE *pf) {
char buf[PPMREADBUFLEN], *t;
image img;
unsigned int w, h, d;
int r;
if (pf == NULL) return NULL;
t = fgets(buf, PPMREADBUFLEN, pf);
if ( (t == NULL) || ( strncmp(buf, "P6\n", 3) != 0 ) ) return NULL;
do
{ /* Px formats can have # comments after first line */
t = fgets(buf, PPMREADBUFLEN, pf);
if ( t == NULL ) return NULL;
} while ( strncmp(buf, "#", 1) == 0 );
r = sscanf(buf, "%u %u", &w, &h);
if ( r < 2 ) return NULL;
// The program fails if the first byte of the image is equal to 32. because
// the fscanf eats the space and the image is read with some bit less
r = fscanf(pf, "%u\n", &d);
if ( (r < 1) || ( d != 255 ) ) return NULL;
img = alloc_img(w, h);
if ( img != NULL )
{
size_t rd = fread(img->buf, sizeof(pixel), w*h, pf);
if ( rd < w*h )
{
free_img(img);
return NULL;
}
return img;
}
}</lang>
The following acts as a filter to convert a PPM file read from standard input into a PPM gray image, and it outputs the converted image to standard output (see Grayscale image, Write ppm file, and Raster graphics operations in general):
<lang c>#include <stdio.h>
- include "imglib.h"
int main() {
image source; grayimage idest; source = get_ppm(stdin); idest = tograyscale(source); free_img(source); source = tocolor(idest); output_ppm(stdout, source); free_img(source); free_img((image)idest); return 0;
}</lang>
C#
Tested with this solution.
<lang csharp>using System.IO; class PPMReader {
public static Bitmap ReadBitmapFromPPM(string file)
{
var reader = new BinaryReader(new FileStream(file, FileMode.Open));
if (reader.ReadChar() != 'P' || reader.ReadChar() != '6')
return null;
reader.ReadChar(); //Eat newline
string widths = "", heights = "";
char temp;
while ((temp = reader.ReadChar()) != ' ')
widths += temp;
while ((temp = reader.ReadChar()) >= '0' && temp <= '9')
heights += temp;
if (reader.ReadChar() != '2' || reader.ReadChar() != '5' || reader.ReadChar() != '5')
return null;
reader.ReadChar(); //Eat the last newline
int width = int.Parse(widths),
height = int.Parse(heights);
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(width, height);
//Read in the pixels
for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
bitmap.SetPixel(x, y, new Bitmap.Color()
{
Red = reader.ReadByte(),
Green = reader.ReadByte(),
Blue = reader.ReadByte()
});
return bitmap;

Notes:
- doing formatted I/O with Fortran is a pain... And unformatted does not mean free; Fortran2003 has streams, but they are not implemented (yet) in GNU Fortran compiler. Here (as in the write part) I've tried to handle the PPM format through formatted I/O. The tests worked but I have not tried still everything.
- comments after the first line are not handled
Haskell
The definition of Bitmap.Netpbm.readNetpbm is given here. <lang haskell>import Bitmap import Bitmap.RGB import Bitmap.Gray import Bitmap.Netpbm
import Control.Monad import Control.Monad.ST
main =
(readNetpbm "original.ppm" :: IO (Image RealWorld RGB)) >>= stToIO . toGrayImage >>= writeNetpbm "new.pgm"</lang>
The above writes a PGM, not a PPM, since the image being output is in grayscale. If you actually want a gray PPM, convert the Image RealWorld Gray back to an Image RealWorld RGB first: <lang haskell>main =
(readNetpbm "original.ppm" :: IO (Image RealWorld RGB)) >>= stToIO . (toRGBImage <=< toGrayImage) >>= writeNetpbm "new.ppm"</lang>
J
Solution:
Uses makeRGB from Basic bitmap storage.
<lang j>require 'files'
readppm=: monad define
dat=. fread y NB. read from file
msk=. 1 ,~ (*. 3 >: +/\) (LF&=@}: *. '#'&~:@}.) dat NB. mark field ends
't wbyh maxval dat'=. msk <;._2 dat NB. parse
'wbyh maxval'=. 2 1([ {. [: _99&". (LF,' ')&charsub)&.> wbyh;maxval NB. convert to numeric
if. (_99 0 +./@e. wbyh,maxval) +. 'P6' -.@-: 2{.t do. _1 return. end.
(a. i. dat) makeRGB |.wbyh NB. convert to basic bitmap format
)</lang>
Example:
Using utilities and file from Grayscale image and Write ppm file.
Writes a gray PPM file (a color format) which is bigger than necessary. A PGM file would be more appropriate.

# read 3 bytes
red, green, blue = f.read(3).unpack('C3')
bitmap[x,y] = RGBColour.new(red, green, blue)
end
end
end
bitmap
end
end
- create an image: a green cross on a blue background
colour_bitmap = Pixmap.new(20, 30) colour_bitmap.fill(RGBColour::BLUE) colour_bitmap.height.times {|y| [9,10,11].each {|x| colour_bitmap[x,y]=RGBColour::GREEN}} colour_bitmap.width.times {|x| [14,15,16].each {|y| colour_bitmap[x,y]=RGBColour::GREEN}} colour_bitmap.save('testcross.ppm')
- then, convert to grayscale
Pixmap.open('testcross.ppm').to_grayscale!.save('testgray.ppm')</lang>
Tcl
The actual PPM reader is built into the photo image engine: <lang tcl>package require Tk
proc readPPM {image file} {
$image read $file -format ppm
}</lang>
Thus, to read a PPM, convert it to grayscale, and write it back out again becomes this (which requires Tcl 8.6 for try/finally); the PPM reader and writer are inlined because they are trivial at the script level:
<lang tcl>package require Tk
proc grayscaleFile {filename {newFilename ""}} {
set buffer [image create photo]
if {$newFilename eq ""} {set newFilename $filename}
try {
$buffer read $filename -format ppm
set w [image width $buffer]
set h [image height $buffer]
for {set x 0} {$x<$w} {incr x} {
for {set y 0} {$y<$h} {incr y} {
lassign [$buffer get $x $y] r g b
set l [expr {int(0.2126*$r + 0.7152*$g + 0.0722*$b)}]
$buffer put [format "#%02x%02x%02x" $l $l $l] -to $x $y
}
}
$buffer write $newFilename -format ppm
} finally {
image delete $buffer
}
}</lang>
However, the Tk library also has built-in the ability to convert code to grayscale directly during the saving of an image to a file, leading to this minimal solution: <lang tcl>package require Tk
proc grayscaleFile {filename {newFilename ""}} {
set buffer [image create photo]
if {$newFilename eq ""} {set newFilename $filename}
try {
$buffer read $filename -format ppm
$buffer write $newFilename -format ppm -grayscale
} finally {
image delete $buffer
}
}</lang>
Vedit macro language
<lang vedit>// Load a PPM file // @10 = filename // On return: // #10 points to buffer containing pixel data, // #11 = width, #12 = height.
- LOAD_PPM:
File_Open(@10) BOF Search("|X", ADVANCE) // skip "P6"
- 11 = Num_Eval(ADVANCE) // #11 = width
Match("|X", ADVANCE) // skip separator
- 12 = Num_Eval(ADVANCE) // #12 = height
Match("|X", ADVANCE) Search("|X", ADVANCE) // skip maxval (assume 255) Del_Block(0,CP) // remove the header Return</lang>
Example of usage. In addition to LOAD_PPM routine above, you need routine RGB_TO_GRAYSCALE from Grayscale image and routine SAVE_PPM from Write ppm file. <lang vedit>// Load RGB image Reg_Set(10, "|(USER_MACRO)\example.ppm") Call("LOAD_PPM")
// Convert to grayscale
- 10 = Buf_Num
Call("RGB_TO_GRAYSCALE") Buf_Switch(#10) Buf_Quit(OK)
// Convert to RGB Call("GRAYSCALE_TO_RGB")
// Save the image Reg_Set(10, "|(USER_MACRO)\example_gray.ppm") Call("SAVE_PPM")
// Cleanup and exit Buf_Switch(#20) Buf_Quit(OK) return</lang>
