Writing PPM image file in C++

Following is the C++ code for writting the ppm image file

strtemp has file name,

fData is the pointer to the image data.

sprintf(strtemp,”%04d.ppm”,imageNo);
ofstream output(strtemp, ios::binary|ios::out);
if(!output){
cout << ” unable to open the output file “<< strtemp << endl;
}
else{
output << “P6″<< endl <<”# foreground “<<endl;
output << itoa(IWidth, strtemp, 10);
output << ” “;
output << itoa(IHeight, strtemp, 10);
output << endl;
output << itoa(255, strtemp, 10) << endl;
output.write( (char *)fData, IHeight*IWidth*3);
output.close();

};//end of else

(ReadShader)Simple File Reading Code in C++ with File Size buffer

//impressed by lighthouse 3d and help taken from sources on the internet.
//this is not my idea, not my full code.

//It reads the full file in single go.
