play with pixels

[joffo78]

Hi
It would be a good idea to have a module or a script that give pixel value of a bitmap or a text file on an array.
the idea is to work with this kind of device : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_1piwspuYc
to write letters or motif. But we can easialy imagine musical interests...

How about matrix? if we set grid 50x50 - is it more enough for letters? then we could draw letters and save them as presets. I'm just thinking . . .

the goal of my proposition is to translate text or bitmap file into matrix. for example i input a picture with a draw of something and
i have it on the matrix (we can imagine a resample function to make a correspondance between pixel and num of ciells for example for a 800/600 picture we have 80 columns ans 60 rows). Il could work to with text files with scroll possibilities.

I think it's too specific to be implemented in Usine.
they are softs which can convert a bitmap into "color byte" arrays, then you can create a script to import such files?

but the first step is to start learning script language ?:)
