Importing coloured .text image

[JacK1989]

Hi guys, I've looked for an answer on the web but I got nothing.

That's my problem:

I want to display with ImageJ a coloured .text image; the image is stored in MyImage.text file with RGBRGBRGBRGB values separated by spaces (for values on the same line) or newline.

I tried with File->Import->Text Image but I get a horizonatlly stretched image in gray-scale (I understand it: ImageJ thinks the RGB numbers are gray-scale values and the image triplicate in width).
I tried with File->Import->Raw setting 24-bit RGB (Image-type) 0 bytes (offset-to-first-image) and the correct values of width and height but I get a non-sense image; if I look at the upperleft corner pixel RGB values I don't see what I expected (the first three numbers of MyImage.text file). I think the problem stay in the "conversion" from .txt to raw.

Can you help me someway? Maybe with a precise and exact example?
Thank you very much in advance!

Can't believe no one knows.....

Hi Jack, one solution could be:
-try to import yout .txt file with R or Octave software and take the first value each 3 for each line (so you obtain only red pixel value);
- do the same thing for green channel (obviously starting from second value);
- do the same thing for green channel (obviously starting from third value);
In this way you could obtain red, green and blue channel .txt files, that you could reimport in ImageJ and merge, obtaining you RGB image.
