Picture Lab
Manipulating Pictures
• Discussion and activities with
java.awt.Color introduce students to
megapixels, pixels, the RGB color model,
binary numbers, bit, and byte.
• Processing individual pixels involves 2D array
concepts: row-major order, column-major
order, array of arrays, and nested loops.
• And more…
