Hi, thank you very much for the idea! I'll try that! Paul Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 21:07:10 -0800 Subject: Re: NSBitmapImageRep with floating point values From: kenfe...@gmail.com To: david.dun...@apple.com CC: elbomber...@hotmail.com; cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com

Did you try just allocating an appropriately sized buffer and typecasting to (unsigned char **)? The type cast doesn't change the data, just the compiler's interpretation of it (and since this is a pointer that won't affect the data itself in anyway). Yes, unsigned char here really is just intended to signify "raw data" - a byte stream. The byte stream may be interpreted as floating point data channels. -Ken -- David Duncan _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
