RAW Format loading

[Mojomonkey]

Sorry guys, I did not know where else to post this question. There should be a General Programming group.

Anyways, maybe someone here can help me.

Working on some basic terrain, I desire to use a greyscale RAW image to use as the heightmap. However, I'm having issues loading the data. I have a piece of C code that loads RAW in the following way:

1   2

char* data; fread(data, 1, size * size, file);

where size is the dimensions of the RAW (i.e. 128x128). I attempted to do the same in Java as follows:

1   2   3   4

Byte[] heightData = new Byte[size * size]; fis = new FileInputStream(filename); BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis); bis.read(heightData);

This reads the data, but the values are way off, about half are negative.

Any pointers?

Thanks.

I assume you meant byte not Byte.

but anyway....

bytes are signed in java -128 to +127

Use DataInputStream.readUnsignedByte() that should help.

Thank you both.

That was the problem.
