    Lightbulb Transform file into java applet using Graphics

    Ok, I want to know if this is possible. I have the following text file (actually it's pgm, but viewed as text):
    question.jpg

    It's a file made of zeros and " "(spaces), and the zeros form the word "exemplu".

    Is there a way I can transform these zeros intro an image contained by an applet (using the Graphics class)?

    I want to find out stuff about the word represented by the zeros (like the dimension of each letter and the direction of the handwriting) - so I figured out that if I could transform it into a Graphics drawing inside an applet, I could use getX() and getY() for each point (I would represent each 0 with a Point2D) to give me some statistics.

    So, is it possible to transform it?

    You have pretty much described how to do it, minus specifics, though I don't think you need an image.
    Think of the file as also having the grid and using getX() and getY() where Y is the line number and X is the character position on that line

    I have another question: how can I figure out when a letter ends? for example I want to calculate the dimension of "e", then the dimension of "x", etc, but I can't figure out how to separate them.
    I've represented the file with a matrix, where x = rows and y = columns.

    One would think a common task like determining when you reach the end of the file would be built in to what ever system you are using to read the text files. Read the documentation for your "file reader" to see how it is used.
    Or post what you are using for a more detailed reply...
