Read "bitmap" pixels in c++

Well I have a problem . I need to change a bitmap.bmp color into black and white using c++ , but the problem is I don't know how to read and change pixels . I don't know a bit about how to read a bitmap file . what library should I include? how should I work with pixels after scanning them ? I tried searching the web but I didn't find what I was seeking. any help would be appreciated ... I really need this information ...

Solution

  • in order to read bitmap u can use this and save .bmp bits as char to a vector(for example)...

    #include<vector>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   char bit;
   vector<char> name;

   while(cin.get(bit))
   {
       name.push_back(bit);
   }

return 0;
}
