I've submitted changes that implement the above behaviour to
octave-forge CVS. Please verify that everything still works smoothly.
Colour images should now be returned as MxNx3, with the appropriate
numeric class: logical for black & white, uint8 for grey-level/colour
and double for any other precision. I reverted back to using
temporary files, because pipes were too slow. One new "dependency" is
introduced: `identify', also from ImageMagick (installed along with
`convert' on most systems).
Currently, many imaging functions take r, g, and b as parameters --
this would now change to I(:,:,1), I(:,:,2), I(:,:,3). There is,
however, no consistent interface which states whether images should be
in [0-255] or [0-1] -- using numeric classes addresses this.
Because of a bug in saveimage.m, black and white images may display
incorrectly (white stripes every 8th pixel). Until that's fixed, a
simple workaround is to simply convert to a double:
x = imread('black_and_white.png');
imshow(double(x))
The next move would be to systematically work through all the imaging
functions and make sure they use the new format. A good start would
probably be to write `im2gray'.
