PGM File Parser for Java

Overview

This project provides a Java-based solution for parsing and displaying Portable Graymap (Pgm) files. It is designed to be simple to integrate into existing Java projects, requiring Java 8 or higher and Maven for dependency management. The parser supports ASCII Pgm files ("P2" format) and offers functionality to zoom and display images using a Swing-based GUI. Features

PGM Parsing: Supports ASCII-based PGM files, specifically the "P2" format.
Image Zooming: Allows the application of a zoom factor to the displayed image.
Swing GUI: Utilizes the Swing framework for displaying images, with support for the FlatDarkLaf look and feel.

Prerequisites

Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher.
Maven for managing dependencies and building the project.

PGM File Format

The parser expects PGM files to adhere to the following format:

Header: P2
Width and Height: Specified as integers.
Maximum Grayscale Value: Specified as an integer.
Pixel Data: A sequence of integers (one per pixel) defining the grayscale values.

Example:

P2
