Saving a PGraphics2 as a TIFF
Jul 19th, 2006, 3:46pm  
Hi, I'm trying to save a PGraphics2 as a TIFF using the following code:


void saveImage(PGraphics2 i,String filename) {
BufferedImage img=new BufferedImage(i.width, i.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
i.loadPixels();
img.setRGB(0, 0, i.width, i.height, i.pixels, 0, i.width);
try {
  javax.imageio.ImageIO.write(img, "png", new File(savePath(filename)));
  println("saved "+filename);
}
catch(Exception e) {
  println("error while saving "+filename);
}
}

This code works fine with "png" but when I change it to "tiff", it results in a zero kb file. Is there any way to output a TIFF from a PGraphics2?

Edit, I tried replacing the contents of the function with:
i.save(savePath("oot.tif"));
But that gave me a 1.4MB document that I couldn't read in anything x.x

Well I've never done it, but I did just read this post:

I thought Processing saved tiff files as a default. Have you tried copying the PGraphics2 to a PImage and calling save() from that? Can you read the file normally produced from saving the applet display (saveFrame();)?
