    Default select a color from a png file

    hi,

    i am working on a group project at university. we should read a map (.png file) and try to find the seas on the map. i know how i can read from a png file to an array. but i cannot find how i find the blue colors (or the colors that show seas). i googled it but i dont find anything about it (everything is about filtering, rescaling etc...) in fact i dont know how i can find it and the main sentences that i can google.

    What can i do? Any hints? i will be very glad for all supports.

    Welcome to the forums strider

    I have no idea if this will work but try something like:

        BufferedImage bimg = ImageIO.read(new File("map.png"));
     
        // get the colour of the pixel at position (x, y)
        int col = bimg.getRGB(x, y);
     
        // decode red, green and blue components of colour if necessary
        int r = (col >> 16) & 0xff;
        int g = (col >> 8) & 0xff;
        int b = col & 0xff;
