For this assignment you will be building a Bitmap reader and transformer. It will read a Bitmap in from disk, run one or more color transforms on the bitmap and then write it out to a new file. This project will require the use of node buffers in order to manipulate binary data. Your project should include tests, as well as a Gulpfile and package.json file. Make sure to run all your code through eslint. The process will look something like this:
- open file using fs and read it into a buffer
- convert buffer headers data into a Javascript Object
- Run a transform on the buffer directly
- Write the buffer to a new file.
The wikipedia article found here Bitmap Specification describes the byte specification of a "windows bitmap file." We'll be working the simplest version, meaning no compression. Your project should be able to take a transform as a callback that will be run once the bitmap file has been read into a buffer. Your project should include at least one transform. This is a difficult assignment so make sure to come to me with questions early. Ideas for easy transformations:
- invert the colors (essentially subtract every color value from the max color value which is 255),
- Grayscale the colors, multiply each color value by a constant, just make sure your values don't go over 255.
- (red|green|blue)scale the colors, same as above but only multiply one of the colors.
- Can handle palette and non-palette bitmaps
- Can handle multiple types of bitmaps (not just BM)
- Handle LE and BE computers with a single if statement
- create a command line interface
- command line interface that can select the transform
- can handle various sized bitmaps
