You can also get the files using the following links.
- Pixel-main.java is the main method for your Pixel class. ImagePGM-main.java is the main method for your ImagePGM class.
- bode.pgm, manga.pgm, rio.pgm, and rooke-chapel.pgm are the image files you will be manipulating. Put these into your project folder.
- bode-brightened.pgm, bode-darkened.pgm, rio-rotate-180.pgm, rooke-chapel-flip-horizontal.pgm, and rooke-chapel-negative.pgm show how your output files should look.

Placement

Students who have had a solid, previous experience with computer programming in Java are encouraged to read the following material.

Academic Responsibility

Bucknell University Honor Code

As a student and citizen of the Bucknell University community:

I will not lie, cheat, or steal in my academic endeavors.
I will forthrightly oppose each and every instance of academic dishonesty.
I will let my conscience guide my decision to communicate directly with any person or persons I believe to have been dishonest in academic work.
I will let my conscience guide my decision on reporting breaches of academic integrity to the appropriate faculty or deans.

Students are expected to read and abide by the principles clearly explained in the Student Handbook. Under no circumstance, should any student submit work that is not of his or her authorship. If a deadline is tight, or impossible, before getting desperate, talk to your instructor. It is better to be late than dishonest. Remember that your instructor's main goal is to give you the best opportunities to learn.

The university has a set of web pages that describe what we understand for Principles of Academic Responsibility and how it deals with cases of violations of these principles.

In addition to reading and understanding the university documents above, you are urged pay careful attention to the policy extensions applicable to courses in the Department of Computer Science.

Your instructor will make every effort to explain in detail the collaboration policy for each specific assignment. Before you start your work, make sure to read and understand this policy. Should any questions arise, contact your instructor immediately to have them clarified.
