Just implemented the ability to export BMP’s as RAW RGB data in BMPDecode since I needed a tool to do this.
I tried it out by exporting some textures as raw RGB and loading them into opengl as textures and it worked fine

So if you need a quick converter from BMP -> RAW RGB/RGBA this is your fix!

Changelog:

Added these methods:

     |  exportRAW_RGB(self, outfilename)
     |      exportRAW_RGB(filename) -> no return value
     |      Exports the data contained in the decoder to a RAW
     |      RGB data file with the filename passed as an argument
     |
     |  exportRAW_RGBA(self, outfilename, alphavalue=255)
     |      exportRAW_RGB(filename, alphavalue=255) -> no return value
     |      Exports the data contained in the decoder to a RAW
     |      RGBA data file with the filename passed as an argument

Download here!

Example of use:

import bmpdecode
decoder = bmpdecode.BMPDecoder("mybmpfile.bmp")
decoder.exportRAW_RGB("myraw.raw")

Optionally call

decoder.print_fileinfoheader()

to get the height/width of the image since t is not saved in the RAW file.
