Get image width and height in pixels

so i have looked at a couple other questions like this and from what i saw none of the answers seemed to answer my question. I created a program that creates ASCII art, which is basically a picture of text instead of colors. the way i have the program set up at the moment you have to manually set the Width and Height of the pixels. If the width and height of the p开发者_如何学编程ixels is too large it simply wont work. so basically what i want to do is have a function to automatically set the width and height to the size of the picture. http://www.mediafire.com/?3nb8jfb8bhj8d is the link to the program now. I looked into pixel grabber but the constructor methods all needed a range of pixels. I also have another folder for the classes, http://www.mediafire.com/?2u7qt21xhbwtp

on another note this program is incredibly inefficient, i know that it is inefficient in the grayscaleValue() method, but i dont know if there is any better way to do this. Any suggestions on this program would be awesome too. Thanks in advance! (this program was all done on eclipse)

After you read the image into your BufferedImage, you can call getWidth() and getHeight() on it to get this information dynamically. See the JavaDocs. Also, Use a constructor for GetPixelColor to create the BufferedImage once and for all. This will avoid reading the entire file from disk for each channel of each pixel.

For further code clean up, change series of if statements to a switch construct, or an index into an array, whichever is more natural. See this for an explanation of the switch construct.

One last comment: anything inside a class that logically represents the state of an object should be declared non static. If, say, you wanted to render two images side by side, you would need to create to instances if GetPixelColor, and each one should have its own height and width attributes. Since they're currently declared static, each instance would be sharing the same data, which is clearly not desireable behavior.
