#3278

Resurrecting an old thread... For anyone looking to call b2d from Python...

First step was to build b2d on macOS (10.12.3) following nicola and mmphosis:
  gcc -DMINGW -arch i386 -Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-comment -o ../b2d b2d.c

The next crucial step is to resize your input images to be the correct size for HGR/DHGR etc. If you don't have the correct size then b2d will complain about "wrong format!".

Here, my Python code is reading an image from a URL (works just as well from a .jpg or .png file), resizing to be 280x192 (since I want HGR), saving it to a BMP, then calling b2d. Then I read in the bytes and do something with them.

from PIL import Image
import subprocess
img = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
img = img.resize((280,192))
img.save('temp.bmp')
subprocess.check_call(['./b2d', 'temp.bmp', 'hgr'])
f = open("TEMPC.BIN", "rb")
data = f.read(8192)
f.close()

Hopefully this will help anyone else who is doing something similar.
Cheers,
Chris

Perhaps it is worth mentioning that you first need to install PIL and 
requests packages:

   pip install Pillow
   pip install requests

> from PIL import Image
> import subprocess

I also had to add:

   import requests
   url = 'https://some.url/to/some/image.png'

> img = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
> img = img.resize((280,192))

> f = open("TEMPC.BIN", "rb")

In my (limited) testing, b2d complains that temp.bmp does not have the
right format, although it looks fine if I open it with a graphics program:

   Palette 5: tohgr NTSC DHGR Colors
   Preview Palette 5: tohgr NTSC DHGR Colors
   temp.bmp is in the wrong format!

Sure, this comes in handy. Thanks for sharing!

It turns out that the problem was in the version of b2d installed from
https://github.com/lifepillar/homebrew-appleii, which was missing the
-arch i386 flag. I have fixed that and now it works!

If you have installed bmp2dhr using Homebrew, please reinstall it:

   brew update
   brew reinstall bmp2dhr

Hi all,

Looks like Bill's link to grab bmp2dhr for macos is a 404 these days.  Anyone have a link to a current site for the static binary?  

Thanks!

The Wayback machine is your friend.  But that page was mostly pointers 
to elsewhere anyway.  You might want to have a look at buckshot now:
