Given a URL/path, grab all the pixels in an image and return the result as an ndarray. Works both in browserify and in node.js.

Note On the node side, currently only supports PNG and PPM. Patches welcome!!!

var getPixels = require("get-pixels")

getPixels("lena.png", function(err, pixels) {
  if(err) {
    console.log("Bad image path")
    return
  }
  console.log("got pixels", pixels.shape)
})

npm install get-pixels

Reads all the pixels from url into an ndarray.

• url is the path to the file
• cb(err, pixels) is a callback which gets triggered once the image is loaded.

Returns An ndarray of pixels in raster order having shape equal to [rows, columns, channels].
