1. 2311: Algorithmic Architecture Basics of Algorithms Data IO

2. Data input/output

3. Is there a way to "drive" mel algorithms with data coming from outside Maya like GIS data or else? Email I received

6. Open the JPG file For every pixel{ get RGB values gray[]= (R + G + B)/3 } Make a plane the size of the pixels For every cv cv.z = gray[]

7. Open the JPG file For every pixel{ get RGB values gray[]= (R + G + B)/3 } Make a plane the size of the pixels For every cv cv.z = gray[] Open the JPG file Open a text file For every pixel{ get RGB values write R, G, B (as text) } Close files Open text file For every line{ gray[]= (R + G + B)/3 } Make a plane the size of the pixels For every cv cv.z = gray[]

8. fopen This command creates/opens a file for write/read and returns a file identifier. "w" open file for writing (destroys prior contents of file). "a" append for writing (appends to end of file). "r" open for reading.

9. fopen This command creates/opens a file for write/read and returns a file identifier. "w" open file for writing (destroys prior contents of file). "a" append for writing (appends to end of file). "r" open for reading. Example $fileId =`fopen "filex.txt" "w" `; fclose $fileId;

10. fopen This command creates/opens a file for write/read and returns a file identifier. "w" open file for writing (destroys prior contents of file). "a" append for writing (appends to end of file). "r" open for reading. Example $fileId =`fopen "filex.txt" "w" `; //also $fileId = eval("fopen \"filex.txt\“ \”w\”"); fclose $fileId;

11. fopen This command creates/opens a file for write/read and returns a file identifier. "w" open file for writing (destroys prior contents of file). "a" append for writing (appends to end of file). "r" open for reading. Example $fileId =`fopen "filex.txt" "w" `; //also $fileId = eval("fopen \"filex.txt\“ \”w\”"); fclose $fileId; chdir "C:/Data"; $filename = "MyData.txt"; $fileId =`fopen $filename ”r”`; //or $fileId = eval("fopen " + $filename + “\”r\””); fclose $fileId;

12. fwrite Writes the next set of bytes as binary data

13. fwrite Writes the next set of bytes as binary data fread Reads the next set of bytes as binary data up to the first occurrence of a NULL character or until EOF.

14. fwrite Writes the next set of bytes as binary data fread Reads the next set of bytes as binary data up to the first occurrence of a NULL character or until EOF. fgetword Returns the next word (string of characters separated by white space characters) or nothing at end of file.

15. Open a file to write chdir "C:/Data"; $fileId =`fopen "hello.txt" "w"`; fwrite $fileId "Hello there\n"; fclose $fileId;

16. Open a file to write chdir "C:/Data"; $fileId =`fopen "hello.txt" "w"`; fwrite $fileId "Hello there\n"; fclose $fileId;

17. Open a file to write chdir "C:/Data"; $fileId =`fopen "hello.txt" “w"`; fwrite $fileId "Hello there\n"; fclose $fileId; Open a file to read from chdir "C:/Data"; $fileId=`fopen "hello.txt" "r"`; string $s; $s=`fread $fileId $s`; print $s; fclose $fileId; Hello there
