    PPM file image crop bug

    Hey guys im working with a program that does manipulations to simple images( in PPM format). Im trying to crops an image by a rectangle thats (x1,y1),(x2,y2). The image is 38 by 39, but I started the 2-d at [0][0]. When I crop the entire image x1=0; y1=38; x2=37; y2=0. It works fine, it just makes a cope of the original image.
    Here is the code.

    Code:
    void graphics::crop(int x1,int y1,int x2, int y2)
    {
        int i,j;
    
        xsize=((x2-x1)+1);   
        ysize=((y1-y2)+1); 
        
        cout<<xsize<<endl;
        cout<<ysize<<endl;
        
        for(i=0;i<xsize;i++)
        {        
            for(j=0;j<ysize;j++)
            {
                plot[i][j].red = plot[x1+i][y2+j].red;
                plot[i][j].green= plot[x1+i][y2+j].green;
                plot[i][j].blue = plot[x1+i][y2+j].blue;
            }
        }
    
    }
    after that it calls a function to load the date into a file....
    Code:
    void graphics::storePPM()
    {
        int i,j;
        //cout<<"in store"<<endl;
        ofstream outFile;
    
        outFile.open("output.PPM");
        if (outFile.fail())
        {
            cout << "Unable to open output file" << endl;
        }
    
        outFile<<"P3"<<endl;
        outFile<<"# This file was made using graphics program by Chris Donlan"<<endl;
        outFile<<xsize<<" "<<ysize<<endl;
        
        for(i=0;i<xsize;i++)
        {        
            for(j=0;j<ysize;j++)
            {
                
                    outFile<<plot[i][j].red<<endl;;
                    outFile<<plot[i][j].green<<endl;
                    outFile<<plot[i][j].blue<<endl;
            }
        }
    
        outFile<<"\r";
    }
    If I try to crop a smaller part of the image it becomes blured. Any ideas?

    Thanks
    Chris

    Check the raw data of the cropped image - use a debugger.
    At least one graphics viewer I know of starts interpolating images (that's fuzzy-making to you) when you zoom in too much.
    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.
