Excel pictures :)

A lot of companies actually rely on spreadsheets for some of their business logic.

But that is not the only thing we can do with excel... have a look at theses geeky things:






I made a tiny c# to generate a text file that can be imported in excel :

            StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("output.txt");
            Bitmap src = (Bitmap) Image.FromFile("source.gif"); 
            
            for (int x = 0; x < src.Width; x++)
            {
                for (int y = src.Height - 1; y >= 0; y--)
                {
                    Color c = src.GetPixel(x, y);
                    sw.Write("{0};", (c.R + c.B + c.G) / 3);
                }
                sw.WriteLine();
            }
            sw.Close(); 

Your can then open the text file with Excel, set the import separator to ';'

You've got the data, all you now need is to use the excel graphic wizard to enjoy nice geek pictures :)
