as.matrix.bm_matrix {bittermelon}

Cast bitmap/pixmap objects to a (normal) matrix

Description

as.matrix.bm_matrix() casts bm_bitmap() objects to a (normal) integer matrix and bm_pixmap() objects to a (normal) character matrix (of color strings). Note unless first_row_is_top = TRUE the bottom left pixel will still be represented by the pixel in the first row and first column (i.e. these methods simply remove the class names).

Usage

## S3 method for class 'bm_matrix'
as.matrix(x, first_row_is_top = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

Either a bm_bitmap() or bm_pixmap() object.

first_row_is_top

If TRUE the first row of the matrix will represent the top of the bitmap (like grDevices::as.raster() objects). If FALSE the first row of the matrix will represent the bottom of the bitmap (like bm_bitmap() and bm_pixmap() objects).

...

Currently ignored.

Value

Either an integer matrix if x is a bm_bitmap() object or a character matrix if x is a bm_pixmap() object.

Examples

 space_matrix <- matrix(0L, ncol = 8L, nrow = 8L)
 space_glyph <- bm_bitmap(space_matrix)
 print(space_glyph, px = ".")
 print(as.matrix(space_glyph))
