==========

NOTE: To avoid recent security issues then node-pixels has been removed, so only browser support remains.

Given a URL/path, grab all the pixels in an image and return the result as an ndarray. Written in 100% JavaScript, works both in browserify and in node.js and has no external native dependencies.

Currently the following file formats are supported:

* PNG
* JPEG
* GIF

Example
=======

``javascript
var getPixels = require("get-pixels")

getPixels("lena.png", function(err, pixels) {
if(err) {
console.log("Bad image path")
return
}
console.log("got pixels", pixels.shape.slice())
})
`

Install
=======

npm install get-pixels

$3

* url is the path to the file. It can be a relative path, an http url, a data url, or an in-memory Buffer.
* type is an optional mime type for the image (required when using a Buffer)
* cb(err, pixels) is a callback which gets triggered once the image is loaded.

Returns An ndarray of pixels in raster order having shape equal to [width, height, channels].

Note For animated GIFs, a 4D array is returned with shape [numFrames, width, height, 4]`, where each frame is a slice of the final array.
