    Default Loading in images

    I have 2 questions about loading in images..

    First of all is there a way to load images in 3 dimensional matrices ? As in matlab?
    Here is a piece of a matlab 'script' I made to make a puzzle from an images:

    function [] = puzzel(naam, N);
    afb = imread(naam);
    resolutie = size(afb);
    afm = resolutie(1);
     
    x = sqrt(N);
     
    for i = 1:3
        for j=1:afm/x
            for k=1:afm/x
                afb(afm-afm/x+j,afm-afm/x+k,i) = 0;
            end;
        end;
    end;
     
    randm = fix(rand(1)*40+10)
    for o = 1:randm
    hop1= floor(rand*(x))+1;
    hop2= floor(rand*(x))+1;
    hip1= floor(rand*(x))+1;
    hip2= floor(rand*(x))+1;
    for i = 1:3
        for j=1:afm/x
            for k=1:afm/x
            im1 = afb(afm-hop1*afm/x+j,afm-hop2*afm/x+k,i);
            im2 = afb(afm-hip1*afm/x+j,afm-hip2*afm/x+k,i);
            afb(afm-hop1*afm/x+j,afm-hop2*afm/x+k,i) = im2;
            afb(afm-hip1*afm/x+j,afm-hip2*afm/x+k,i) = im1;
            end;
        end;
    end;
    end;
    image(afb);

    Now as you can see, afb contains the image, and afb is a 3 dimensional matrix : ) x:y:1 -> red x:y:2 -> green, etc

    Is there a way to do the same with java?

    Another thing, if there is a way (of if there isn't, referring to the previous question).
    Is there a way to load the image that is currently in your clipboard ?


    Greetings,
    Pieter

    Loading things from the Clipboard can sometimes be a pain, but look at the Clipboard (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0).If you are doing this through an applet you will most likely have security issues in which you must sign the applet for Clipboard access.

    As far is a 3D image, I don't think Java has a standard class, but you could create your own through either arrays representing the 3D architecture of the RGB values, or create an array of BufferedImage (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)

    Since I have no experience with images in java I'll give that bufferedimages a try.

    Btw, 3d images? Are you sure you know what I meant..? The images are clearly just 2d, but they get represented by a 3d matrix, because every pixel get's represented by 3 colours, red green blue, anyway, I'll do some research on that

    Nope, not sure at all I was thinking you had images as a "z-stack" of 2D images...BufferedImage is probably what you are looking for. For example, to read an image:

    BufferdImage image = ImageIO.read(new File("/local/path/to/your/image"));
    You can access all RGB pixel values via BufferedImage (it is more like a 2D matrix for each row/column pixel of the image), create a Graphics from the object for drawing or altering the image, or use it to draw directly to a graphics object for GUI drawing in swing.
