GetPixel into RGB

Johpoke

Ive been using SetPixel alot, where i feed it seperate R G B values, but now im playing with GetPixel, but it only seems to return one big bitwise value, so how can i most cpu friendly wise convert this big number into 3 sperate ints? thanks

Why not just use GetRValue(), GetGValue(), and GetBValue()?

cout< This is doing exactly what it is supposed to (i.e., printing the character equivalent of the red value). Since your red value is likely not a printable character (e.g., some value less than 33 or greater than 127), that's why you're not seeing a number. Cast it to an int instead.

By using the three functions I mentioned earlier.
