Introduction
i try write new string compressor but believe me it is not easy , i try save text in image RGB and move it in Gray but i find is not possible or get more bytes . In any case i send this code for you. maybe save your time .
- LoadText(click on com) : you can see your text in image like top image.
- SaveImage:Click on image,save it.
- LaodImage(Click on decom):you can save text save in image.
MainClass:
you can use class com & decom
com nbv = new com();
nbv.doCompress(String, String);
Class Decom image
decom nb = new decom();
nb.doDeCompress(String,String);
Background
Using the code
This class put int word in RGB(X1,X2,X3) its less <255 ,Get square root of total letter that indicate size of the image the value divided by three since each pixel contains 3 letter.
Quote:Convert the character into ASCII value and add in letters collectionMixed RGB IN Pixel(R,G,b)
class com
{
public void doCompress(string FileText, string FileImage)
{
using (StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(FileText))
// Get text from a .txt file to compress
{
var line = ""; // To hold a line of the file
var R = 0; // To hold 4 letters as Red value
var G = 0; // To hold 4 letters as Green value
var B = 0; // To hold 4 letters as Blue value
var letters = new List();
// To hold the characters of line
//Read lines one by one from stream reader
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
foreach (char ch in line) // Get character from a line
{
letters.Add(Convert.ToInt16(ch));
// Convert the character
//into ASCII value and add in letters collection
}
letters.Add(255); // Use 255 as a flag that indicates new line
//counter_line++;
}
/* Get square root of total letter that indicate size
of the image (get the value divided by three since each
pixel contains 3 letters*/
var square = Math.Sqrt(letters.Count / 3);
/* Get square root of total letter that indicate size
* of the image (get the value divided by three since
* each pixel contains 3 letters*/
square += 1; // Add one value for any exceeds if any
square = Math.Round(square);
// Have a BitMap with optimal size that we calculated
var bmp = new Bitmap((int)square, (int)square);
var count = 0; // count for letters
for (int row = 1; row < square; row++) // Indicates row number
{
for (int column = 1; column < square; column++) // Indicate column number
{
if (count < (letters.Count - 3)) // Check for last pixel
{
R = letters[count++]; // Assignee a letter in Red value
G = letters[count++]; // Assignee a letter in Green value
B = letters[count++]; // Assignee a letter in Blue value
// Set pixel with the combination of two value
bmp.SetPixel(row, column, (Color.FromArgb( R, G, B)));
}
}
}
bmp.Save(FileImage, ImageFormat.Png); //Save the Bitmap and this is the compressed Image Data
}
}
}
This class get RGB color list And Convert the character
- Get Red->Convert the character
- Get Green->Convert the character
- Get Blue->Convert the character
class decom
{
public void doDeCompress(string FileImage,string FileText)
{
var lettersExtract = new List(); // To hold extracted letters
var bmp = new Bitmap(Bitmap.FromFile(FileImage));
// Get the Image data to DeCompress
for (int row = 1; row < bmp.Width; row++) // Indicates row number
{
for (int column = 1; column < bmp.Height; column++)
// Indicate column number
{
var cr = bmp.GetPixel(row, column);
// Get the pixel of the current row and column
lettersExtract.Add(cr.R);
// Get the Red Value and Add in letterExtract collection
lettersExtract.Add(cr.G);
// Get the Green Value and Add in letterExtract collection
lettersExtract.Add(cr.B);
// Get the Blue Value and Add in letterExtract collection
}
}
using (System.IO.StreamWriter file = new
System.IO.StreamWriter(FileText,false,Encoding.Default))
// Open a text file to extract
{
foreach (int write in lettersExtract)
//Get color value one by one from the letters Extracted
{
if (write == 255)
//Condition check for new line since 255 is a flag of new line
file.WriteLine("");
else
file.Write((Char)write);
// Write the character in the file by converting
// the color value into character
}
}
}
}
Mix all data in GUI Windows:
i use openFileDialog and saveFileDialog .
- load text in RichTextBoxStream
- load temp image in PictureBox(PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage)
- click on image and save it(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory ,pictureBox.Image.Save(URL) ).
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
static string word;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string Chosen_File = "";
string name_image_save = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString()
+ "\\" + "compressed.png"; // temp file
openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = Application.ExecutablePath.ToString();
openFileDialog1.Title = "Load text";
openFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Normal|*.txt|Text INF|*.inf";
if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.Cancel)
{
//richTextBox1
Chosen_File = openFileDialog1.FileName;
richTextBox1.LoadFile(Chosen_File, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);
//-------------- use class
com nbv = new com();
nbv.doCompress(Chosen_File, name_image_save);
//------------
}
pictureBox1.Load(name_image_save);
pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}
}
catch
{
