It seems very trivial but I can't read in jpeg, or any type of image into R 2.15. In R 2.10 I could do it using rimage
library or ReadImage
library - with read.jpeg for example - but there seems to be no way to do it in R 2.15 and later versions. Any thoughts on this?
library('ReadImages')
Error in library("ReadImages") : there is no package called ‘ReadImages’ >
install.packages('ReadImages') Installing package(s) into ‘C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.1/library’ (as ‘lib’ is unspecified)
Warning in install.packages : package ‘ReadImages’ is not available (for R version 2.15.1)
As pointed out in comments, try the jpeg package.
install.packages("jpeg") ## if necessary
library(jpeg)
## get help
library(help = jpeg)
## get more help
?readJPEG
Example, from the help:
# read a sample file (R logo)
img <- readJPEG(system.file("img", "Rlogo.jpg", package="jpeg"))
Another option is rgdal, which can read from a massive bestiary of formats. Plotting and manipulation are handled differently.
install.packages("rgdal") ## if necessary
library(rgdal)
img <- readGDAL(file.path(R.home(), "doc", "html", "logo.jpg"))
There is also the readbitmap package on CRAN, it's always worth a basic search of the packages list for what you are looking for.
also:
## if not already installed
install.packages("jpeg")
library(jpeg)
?readJPEG()
img <- readJPEG("/Users/name/locationInFileDirectory/image.jpg", native = TRUE)
#this will display your image to test you read it correctly
if(exists("rasterImage")){
plot(1:2, type='n')
rasterImage(img,1,1,2,2)
}
