24-bit Bmp File Manipulation Project

This project is made without any libraries except the STD C++17 libs , yes it was a journey! from learning to deal with hex dump and .bin files to image processing and then gui using QT(soon)💙.

📣 Beta (v1.5) is out!

• now can thershhold an image
• now can grayscale an image
• some bugs fixed

---

🛠 Issues & Notes:

• if using lib "filesystem" produces errors please try newer cpp compiler version or replace it with ghc/filesystem and replace all instances to ghc::filesystem

  • _{as far as i know : this happends due to stdc++ not supporting this lib for versions older than C++17.}
  • _{replacing with ghc/filesystem is straight forward : download -> then -> #include "abs-path-to-ghc/filesystem.h" .}

• Due to some Dependency/dynamic linking issues i provided a static linked .exe to use. This will work almost for all platforms

  • cross_platform_bmp_betav1.5.exe .
  • _{to produce it when compiling my source code using GCC compiler type command g++ main.cpp -o chorma_proj.exe -static-libstdc++ .}

_{At full release this repo will be a mini-gui : application/tool on (file streaming in cpp + image manipulation + it's buildsystem script) , Note : I know it's much easier in e.g.(python). but I need it. its mainly for educational purposes .
