16-bit

I have some scientific image data that's coming out of a detector device in a 16 bit range which then gets rendered in an image. In order to display this data, I'm using OpenGL, because it should support ushorts as part of the library. I've managed to get this data into textures rendering on an OpenGL 1.4 platform, a limitation that is a requirement of this project. Unfortunately, the resulting textures look like they're being reduced to 8 bits, rather than 16 bits. I test this by generating a gradient image and displaying it; while the image itself has each pixel different from its neighbors,

I am not sure what is meant by 16-bit or 32-bit applications. Is that a 16-bit application is an application which would not require more than 2^16 bytes of memory space? Does this 16-bit refers to the max size of the application? A 32-bit application is software that runs in a 32-bit flat address space. Answers to common questions Will a 64 bit CPU run a standard (32-bit) program on a 64-bit version of an OS? Yes it will. 64 bit systems are backward compatible with the 32 bit counterparts. Will a 64-bit OS run a standard application on a 64 bit processor? Again, it will. This is because of

Before, when I was using win32, I used FreeImage in order to load and save bitmaps of bit depth greater than 8 bits. That's every image I work with, since I'm doing medical imaging, and before anyone says anything, yes, me and my customers have spent a lot of money on high-brightness, high-contrast monitors with 11 or 12 bits of dynamic range. In fact, if you're curious, requirements by the ACR for running mammography incldue a monitor with at least 10 bits of dynamic range. I just switched to x64 for the memory overheads and to get all of my development onto one platform and compiling mode. I

I need to be able to convert 8-bit or 16-bit grayscale pixel data into a file format that the .NET framework can support. The data I have available is the width, height, orientation (bottom-left) and the pixel format as 4096 shades of gray (12-bit resolution) packed in 2 bytes per pixel. So for example each pixel ranges from 0 to 4096, and each pixel is 2 bytes. I have already tried using PixelFormat.Format16bppGrayScale with the Bitmap constructor, and it throws a GDI+ exception. Everything I have read says that this format is not supported and that MSDN is wrong. I want to convert this pixel

I have 16-bit PGM images that I am trying to read in Python. It seems (?) like PIL does not support this format? import Image im = Image.open('test.pgm') im.show() Shows roughly the image, but it isn't right. There are dark bands throughout and img is reported to have mode=L . I think this is related to an early question I had about 16-bit TIFF files . Is 16-bit that rare that PIL just does not support it? Any advice how I can read 16-bit PGM files in Python, using PIL or another standard library, or home-grown code? nobar The following depends only on numpy to load the image, which can be 8

I am writing some little tools for MS-DOS. Now I'm writing a Shutdown.com , like for Windows XP and greater. I have already written the entire code, now I just need to pass the argument from DOS. I need to pass the parameters "-r" to reboot and "-s" to shutdown. How can I do it? I'm using TASM(Turbo Assembler 4.1) on Windows 98 to link and compile. I'm looking for a very simple way to do it, and if possible, still a .COM program. I'm looking exactly like the ARGV and ARGC from C language, but for Assembly 16-bits... shutdown -r will reboot shutdown -s will shutdown Remember that I already know
