How to convert image into hexa decimal bytes array to send it to output stream in iOS sdk

问题

I wan to print an image on a bluetooth printer. I got some sample code by the printer manufacturer. Here is the code -

unsigned char buffer3[796]={
            0x55 ,  0x66 ,  0x77 ,  0x88 ,  0x44 ,  0x1B ,  0x58 ,  0x31 ,

        [[session outputStream] write:(const uint8_t *)buffer3 maxLength:796];//send print package

The thing I want to know is how to convert image into the buffer array. I am able to print text using that printer and this image also. Just want to know how to convert other images into this buffer array so I can send it to output stream.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Update 1 - I tried with @Tim van Elsloo 's code but its not working..any other idea?

回答1:

I guess, the printer will not take any image format? However, here is how you can convert an image to a byte array, hope this will help:

NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:imagePath];
NSUInteger length = [data length];
Byte *bytes = (Byte*)malloc(length);
memcpy(bytes, [data bytes], length);

回答2:

Try this:

CGImageRef image = [yourUIImage CGImage];
CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
NSUInteger width = CGImageGetWidth(image);
NSUInteger height = CGImageGetHeight(image);
NSUInteger bytesPerPixel = 4;
NSUInteger bytesPerRow = bytesPerPixel * width;
NSUInteger bitsPerComponent = 8;
int size = height*width*bytesPerPixel;
printf("Size:%d\n",size);   
unsigned char *rawData = malloc(size); 
CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(rawData,width,height,bitsPerComponent,bytesPerRow,colorSpace,kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedLast | kCGBitmapByteOrder32Big);
CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace);
CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0,0,width,height),image);
CGContextRelease(context);

Now, rawData is the data you need.

Edit: you have maxLength:796 in your code, but I'm pretty sure this depends on the particular image, you should probably replace 796 by something like sizeof(rawData).
