Thread: Transform file into java applet using Graphics

Ok, I want to know if this is possible. I have the following text file (actually it's pgm, but viewed as text):

It's a file made of zeros and " "(spaces), and the zeros form the word "exemplu".

Is there a way I can transform these zeros intro an image contained by an applet (using the Graphics class)?

I want to find out stuff about the word represented by the zeros (like the dimension of each letter and the direction of the handwriting) - so I figured out that if I could transform it into a Graphics drawing inside an applet, I could use getX() and getY() for each point (I would represent each 0 with a Point2D) to give me some statistics.

So, is it possible to transform it?

You have pretty much described how to do it, minus specifics, though I don't think you need an image.
Think of the file as also having the grid and using getX() and getY() where Y is the line number and X is the character position on that line

I have another question: how can I figure out when a letter ends? for example I want to calculate the dimension of "e", then the dimension of "x", etc, but I can't figure out how to separate them.
I've represented the file with a matrix, where x = rows and y = columns.
