Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (ppm) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

ppm

This code implements a streaming parser/serializer for ascii PPM formatted images in JavaScript. The PPM file format is very simple and human readable, so it can be useful when debugging graphics applications. The downside though is that PPM is not a very efficient format, and so it is not really suitable for long term archival or transmission of images. For those applications, you should use a standard network image format like PNG or JPEG, depending on your requirements.

Usage/Installation

To install, first you do:

npm install ppm

And here is how you can use it to write/read back an image:

var ppm = require("ppm");

var image = [
  [[255, 0, 0], [255, 0, 0], [255, 0, 0]],
  [[0, 255, 0], [0, 255, 0], [0, 255, 0]],
  [[0, 0, 255], [0, 0, 255], [0, 0, 255]]
];

ppm.parse(ppm.serialize(image), function(err, img) {
  console.log(err, img);
});

The API is streaming, and should be compatible with all the stand node.js features from fs/net/etc..

`ppm.parse(stream, cb(err, result))`

Parses an ASCII ppm file from the stream. When finished, calls result with the error/result of parsing the file.

`ppm.serialize(image)`

Converts an image into an ASCII ppm stream
