Write images (arrays) as tab-separated .txt files on disk. Each channel-frame pair gets its own file.

Usage

write_txt_img(img, path, rds = FALSE, msg = TRUE)

read_txt_img(path, msg = TRUE)

txt_img_write(img, path, rds = FALSE, msg = TRUE)

txt_img_read(path, msg = TRUE)

Arguments

img

An image, represented by a 4-dimensional array, like an ijtiff_img.

path

The name of the input/output output file(s), without a file extension.

rds

In addition to writing a text file, save the image as an RDS (a single R object) file?

msg

Print an informative message about the image being read?

Examples

img <- read_tif(system.file("img", "Rlogo.tif", package = "ijtiff"))
#> Reading Rlogo.tif: an 8-bit, 76x100 pixel image of unsigned
#> integer type. Reading 4 channels and 1 frame . . .
#> Done.
tmptxt <- tempfile(pattern = "img", fileext = ".txt")
write_txt_img(img, tmptxt)
#> Writing img93f3164ecfc_ch1.txt, img93f3164ecfc_ch2.txt, img93f3164ecfc_ch3.txt and img93f3164ecfc_ch4.txt: a 76x100 pixel text image with 4 channels and 1 frame . . .
#>  Done.
tmptxt_ch1_path <- paste0(strex::str_before_last_dot(tmptxt), "_ch1.txt")
print(tmptxt_ch1_path)
#> [1] "/tmp/Rtmp7dttII/img93f3164ecfc_ch1.txt"
txt_img <- read_txt_img(tmptxt_ch1_path)
#> Reading 76x100 pixel text image 'img93f3164ecfc_ch1.txt' . . .
#>  Done.
