Changing Step 3: Changing which data we use¶

Below is a selection of images that you can use in the programs in this section.

 beach.jpg baby.jpg vangogh.jpg swan.jpg
 puppy.jpg kitten.jpg girl.jpg motorcycle.jpg
 gal1.jpg guy1.jpg gal2.jpg

We can also change which part of the picture we read and manipulate. When we are changing several colors at once we can create a new pixel with the desired color using Pixl(red,green,blue) as shown below on line 20.

What happens if we skip every other x and y as we manipulate the colors? Maybe make the green 255 and the blue 0?

Let’s try side-to-side copying.

csp-11-6-1: Try it: How would you mirror the image from left-to-right around a vertical line in the middle of the picture? Try changing line 22 to these. If you get it right it will look like the women is nose to nose with herself.
• img.setPixel(halfway - x, y, newPixel)
• It does mirror, but only the left half
• img.setPixel(x - halfway, y, newPixel)
• This creates two copies of the left half
• img.setPixel(img.getWidth() - 1 - x, y, newPixel)
• Yes, it looks like the woman is kissing herself
• img.setPixel(x - img.getWidth(), y, newPixel)
• No, no effect.

Copy the pixels in the top left quadrant to the the bottom right quadrant. Look at the picture above for the expected result.
