Hi, Does anyone know if there is an Octave Image package
binary for Mac OS X 10.4 ? I searched for this but could
only find a binary for OS X 10.5.
I tried porting the Image package using MacPorts, but was
unsuccessful. Kept getting errors that I did not
understand and the MacPorts help blog did not clear up
my confusion. I did not try Fik but after my experience
with MacPorts, I am reluctant to waste another week! Bob
The image package using a Fink install does lack some
functionality.
What commands did you have trouble with?
Ben
I am primarily interested in reading jpg, tiff and png files;
displaying them; and writing image matrices to files of these
formats. Let me give you some background. I am looking for a math
tool to analyze images, and to study effects of various
components (i.e telescope, optical filters and image processing
filters, etc) on the image. I looked into using Scilab and
although this math package is very good, it does not support OS
X. I know MatLab but their price is way beyond my means. Octave
seems to be a good alternative but I am having some difficulty
getting the basic functionality I need. I have worked through
most problems but getting the image package for OS X 10.4 is
proving to be a challenge for me primarily because I do not have
a software background.
Please reply-all so that others can also benefit. Also notice I've
copied the octave-forge list.
While I've used the image package in the past, but I noticed
image-1.0.5 was no longer functioning correctly for me (octave-3.0.3
on OSX 10.5.5), so I uninstalled image-1.0.5 and attempted to
install the more recent image-1.0.8, which failed.
