All:
I've got a script that runs really slow because I'm reading from a stream a
byte at a time:
// TERRIBLE
for y in range( height ):
for color in range(4):
for x in range( width ):
pixelComponent = fileIO.read(4)
buffer = unpack("!f",pixelComponent) << unpacks ONE float,
but we now can do something with that pixel component.
I can speed this up dramatically if I did this:
// MUCH FASTER
for y in range( height ):
for color in range(4):
pixelComponent = fileIO.read(4*width) <<<<<<<<< GET a LOT more data
from the stream into memory FIRST!!
for x in range( width ):
buffer = unpack( ?????? ) <<<< how do I get each float from the
pixelComponent???
-M
