BMP to binary & write bmp on MacOSX

[VGans]

Hi everybody 🙂

I have two questions for you !

First, I need to convert a bmp file into binary.

What i'm supposed to do is : open the bmp fil with a file dialog, unflatten it to use it for other stuffs (convert to greyscale, use a median filter etc), and after modifying it, i would like to save it. So I used the flatten pixmap vi then de write bmp file vi. But here is my problem : it still write the new file into txt, and not bmp ! 😕

Second question : I would like to convert the same bmp file into binary. I know how to go from binary to bmp but not the inverse.

Any help 🙂 ?

Thanks for all !

Explain how you have done for saving the bmp file to binary file. Post a snippet of your code

Oh god i'm so sorry, i made a mistake in my explanation :
First problem is how to save the modified bmp-file in a new bmp file
and second problem is to convert the same bmp file into binary !

So sorry for the misunderstanding!

Converting simply a file that is in a specific location means you can follow the code shown below

 

But am not sure about the MacOSX.

Hell VGans,

In the example provided I see that a sequence structure is being used.

In this case however you could just remove it, because it doesn't seem to serve a purpose.

Please also check this link about when to (and when not to) use sequence structures:
