Hey,
how do I read out the RGB values of an image (jpeg, png, gif, tiff) on Linux ?
I'd like to pass the location of an image to a function that reads out the RGB values of each pixel,
calculates the total sum, then returns r_total, g_total, b_total as array.
I understand I need two for loops for width and height, but I don't know how to access the data.
Could someone provide an example please?
Thank you.

Look up each file format.
Start with simple windows BMP files, they're dead easy to decode into pixel RGB values.
Finding an image library or two for the other file formats (especially jpeg) is probably a good idea unless you really want to roll your own code.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
to roll your own code for jpeg is like rolling your own rope to hang yourself, oops thats mpeg

pure bitmap files like BMP are uncompressed, so it's bloody straightforward. Most other file formats like PNG and JPEG are compressed/encoded, though, so direct RGB access becomes a little chore. To make it easy, get an API like libPNG.
Code:#include <stdio.h> void J(char*a){int f,i=0,c='1';for(;a[i]!='0';++i)if(i==81){ puts(a);return;}for(;c<='9';++c){for(f=0;f<9;++f)if(a[i-i%27+i%9 /3*3+f/3*9+f%3]==c||a[i%9+f*9]==c||a[i-i%9+f]==c)goto e;a[i]=c;J(a);a[i] ='0';e:;}}int main(int c,char**v){int t=0;if(c>1){for(;v[1][ t];++t);if(t==81){J(v[1]);return 0;}}puts("sudoku [0-9]{81}");return 1;}
I'd maybe try using SDL with the SDL_Image library. It can read the most popular file formats like the ones you listed.
Grab SDL here:

and SDL_Image here:

Hey, thanks for the replies.
I checked out SDL, and it seems useful.
So far I've managed to create an SDL_surface, load the image and
get the width and height, but I'm not sure how to get the RGB with
SDL_GetRGB. I don't know how to pass the pixel position to it and
how to retrieve the rgb values.
Could someone give me a hint or two?
