When using bmp() under Windows XP, I find that the saved image is a shifted version of the correct image. Try this:
n<-5 fn<-"01.bmp" x<-matrix(runif(n*n),nrow=n) image(x,col=gray(0:255/255),axes=F,frame.plot=F) bmp(filename = fn,width = n, height = n, units = "px") par(mar=c(0,0,0,0),pty="s") image(x,col=gray(0:255/255),axes=F,frame.plot=F) dev.off() The image 01.bmp is like this: 22 23 24 25 w 32 33 34 35 w 42 43 44 45 w 52 53 54 55 w w w w w w w Where 22 represents x[2,2], etc; w represents a white pixel. For my application, the image has to be .bmp format. The same shifting behaviour is seen for large values of n. It is not just due to the small n value. For my application, this shifting is important and has to be eliminated. Please help. On an unrelated note, I found out that the bmp() code is "smart" enough to write my image as 8-bit using a palette instead of 24-bit with 0:255 grey levels if the image being saved does not use all 256 grey levels. I would love to hear it if somebody knows a good way to make bmp() stupid and always save as 24-bit. My kludge, using 256x256 pixel images, is to tack on an extra row with grey levels 0:255. Then when displaying, I have to crop the image to get rid of that bogus row. Thanks very much for any help!
