Load from Ascii?

[hvdosten]

Dear Specialists,

I wonder whether there is already somewhere a routine, which can read ASCII
data and transform them into Bitmap-Files? I think of two possibilities: one
is for greyscale bitmaps (input maybe rows #, cols #, then a list of integer
or real data. The second would be rgb bitmaps (with a triple-list of r,g,b
values).

Thanks a lot for any hint.

Hello Harald,

maybe you're looking for the pbm, pgm, ppm, ... image formats?

Have you tried Import > Text Image... ? I've found that it works well
for .csv files saved in Excel.

Cheers,
