Writing bitmaps as their own file

[glasspin]

Reading through the documentation, it appears bitmaps can only be
written out into stream files (buffer.write). I'm writing a bitmap
editor and would like to save the images back out to the card. Would
this require something outside of Plua?

buffer.write(filename[,id]) command will write the
buffer identified by "id", in the file "filename".
Hope this helps.

Yes, that writes the buffer into an existing stream file. See section
4.2.1 in the plua doc.

Hi again,

buffer.write can write onto the SD card as well as
internal memory. For example, last night I checked if
I can resize bitmaps in Plua. First reading my bike's
bitmap photograph from the card, and then creating a
new buffer with a smaller pic, and saving the
finalized .bmp file seems to be easy, but Plua is far
too slow.. The line:

write.buffer("vfs0:/PALM/PROGRAMS/Plua/SRC/SuzukiGSR600K7halfthesize.bmp",bufnew)

will create a bitmap file of my bike's pic, as a
bitmap file that can be read by all OS's..

Regards,

Berkant.

Confirmed. It works with a new buffer, so there must be something
wrong with the buffer I'm sending where the function returns nil.
Thanks for your help and pointing me in a the right direction!
