How to create an image file in Golang 1.20
0In this video we are going to generate source code for the GoLang Program, How to create an image file in using chatGPT.
After generating we will verify and run the generated code.
IMPORTANT NOTE on SOURCE CODE: only source code that are acceptable by the youtube description box will be displayed.
In this program I have replaced the angled brackets with > or <. once you copy the source code to editor replace it with greater than or less than symbols respectively.
##############SOURCE CODE#########################
package main
import (
"image"
"image/color"
"image/png"
"os"
)
func main() {
// create a new image with specified size
width := 640
height := 480
img := image.NewRGBA(image.Rect(0, 0, width, height))
// set all pixels to white
for x := 0; x < width; x++ {
for y := 0; y < height; y++ {
img.Set(x, y, color.RGBA{255, 255, 255, 255})
}
}
// create a new file
file, err := os.Create("example.png")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer file.Close()
// save the image to the file
err = png.Encode(file, img)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
println("Image file created successfully.")
}
Below is the explanation for the program:
This program uses the image and image/png packages to create a new image with a specified size using the image.NewRGBA function.
The Set method is used to set all pixels of the image to white.
Next, the program creates a new file named "example.png" using the os package. If an error occurs during the creation of the file, the program will panic with the error message.
The defer statement ensures that the file is closed when the program finishes executing.
Finally, the program uses the png.Encode function to save the image to the file in PNG format.
If an error occurs during the encoding of the image, the program will panic with the error message.
Note that this program creates a blank white image with a specified size. To create a more complex image,
you can use other functions from the image package to draw shapes, text, and other graphics onto the image.
