.. py:module:: PIL.Image .. py:currentmodule:: PIL.Image :py:mod:`Image` Module ====================== The :py:mod:`~PIL.Image` module provides a class with the same name which is used to represent a PIL image. The module also provides a number of factory functions, including functions to load images from files, and to create new images. Examples -------- The following script loads an image, rotates it 45 degrees, and displays it using an external viewer (usually xv on Unix, and the paint program on Windows). Open, rotate, and display an image (using the default viewer) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: python from PIL import Image im = Image.open("bride.jpg") im.rotate(45).show() The following script creates nice 128x128 thumbnails of all JPEG images in the current directory. Create thumbnails ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: python from PIL import Image import glob, os size = 128, 128 for infile in glob.glob("*.jpg"): file, ext = os.path.splitext(infile) im = Image.open(infile) im.thumbnail(size, Image.ANTIALIAS) im.save(file + ".thumbnail", "JPEG") Functions --------- .. autofunction:: open .. warning:: > To protect against potential DOS attacks caused by "`decompression bombs`_" (i.e. malicious files which decompress into a huge amount of data and are designed to crash or cause disruption by using up a lot of memory), Pillow will issue a `DecompressionBombWarning` if the image is over a certain limit. If desired, the warning can be turned into an error with `warnings.simplefilter('error', Image.DecompressionBombWarning)` or suppressed entirely with `warnings.simplefilter('ignore', Image.DecompressionBombWarning)`. See also `the logging documentation`_ to have warnings output to the logging facility instead of stderr. Image processing ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. autofunction:: alpha_composite .. autofunction:: blend .. autofunction:: composite .. autofunction:: eval .. autofunction:: merge Constructing images ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. autofunction:: new .. autofunction:: fromarray .. autofunction:: frombytes .. autofunction:: fromstring .. autofunction:: frombuffer Registering plugins ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. note:: These functions are for use by plugin authors. Application authors can ignore them. .. autofunction:: register_open .. autofunction:: register_mime .. autofunction:: register_save .. autofunction:: register_extension The Image Class --------------- .. autoclass:: PIL.Image.Image An instance of the :py:class:`~PIL.Image.Image` class has the following methods. Unless otherwise stated, all methods return a new instance of the :py:class:`~PIL.Image.Image` class, holding the resulting image. .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.convert The following example converts an RGB image (linearly calibrated according to ITU-R 709, using the D65 luminant) to the CIE XYZ color space: .. code-block:: python rgb2xyz = ( 0.412453, 0.357580, 0.180423, 0, 0.212671, 0.715160, 0.072169, 0, 0.019334, 0.119193, 0.950227, 0 ) out = im.convert("RGB", rgb2xyz) .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.copy .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.crop .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.draft .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.filter .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.getbands .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.getbbox .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.getcolors .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.getdata .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.getextrema .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.getpixel .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.histogram .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.offset .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.paste .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.point .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.putalpha .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.putdata .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.putpalette .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.putpixel .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.quantize .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.resize .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.rotate .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.save .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.seek .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.show .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.split .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.tell .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.thumbnail .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.tobitmap .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.tostring .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.transform .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.transpose .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.verify .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.fromstring .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.load .. automethod:: PIL.Image.Image.close Attributes ---------- Instances of the :py:class:`Image` class have the following attributes: .. py:attribute:: format The file format of the source file. For images created by the library itself (via a factory function, or by running a method on an existing image), this attribute is set to ``None``. :type: :py:class:`string` or ``None`` .. py:attribute:: mode Image mode. This is a string specifying the pixel format used by the image. Typical values are “1”, “L”, “RGB”, or “CMYK.” See :doc:`../handbook/concepts` for a full list. :type: :py:class:`string` .. py:attribute:: size Image size, in pixels. The size is given as a 2-tuple (width, height). :type: ``(width, height)`` .. py:attribute:: palette Colour palette table, if any. If mode is “P”, this should be an instance of the :py:class:`~PIL.ImagePalette.ImagePalette` class. Otherwise, it should be set to ``None``. :type: :py:class:`~PIL.ImagePalette.ImagePalette` or ``None`` .. py:attribute:: info A dictionary holding data associated with the image. This dictionary is used by file handlers to pass on various non-image information read from the file. See documentation for the various file handlers for details. Most methods ignore the dictionary when returning new images; since the keys are not standardized, it’s not possible for a method to know if the operation affects the dictionary. If you need the information later on, keep a reference to the info dictionary returned from the open method. :type: :py:class:`dict`
