Just wondering if anyone would know of a way to write to a image, for example at a certain x,y pixel coordinate change the color to a certain rgb value. Any help with this would be most appreciated, even if it's not a clearcut solution I'll take anything. (I'm using tifs if it makes a difference)

Thanks

I'm not sure if this can be done using mel only, but you could install ImageMagick

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php

and initiate relevant imagemagick commands from mel using the system command.

if you plan to write to an ascii image format (such as *.XPM) then it is possible to do it with MEL, though i guess it would be pretty slow, depending on the image resolution.

Try ImageMagick using the TCL/TK to interface with MEL. TCL and MEL are very similiar.

If you want to get started learning TCL I found this really cool resource site the other day.

I'm going to try this now... I'll post my results soon :)
