The _sane_ module is an Python interface to the SANE (Scanning is Now
|
|
Easy) library, which provides access to various raster scanning
|
|
devices such as flatbed scanners and digital cameras. For more
|
|
information about SANE, consult the SANE Web site at
|
|
http://www.mostang.com/sane/ . Note that this
|
|
documentation doesn't duplicate all the information in the SANE
|
|
documentation, which you must also consult to get a complete
|
|
understanding.
|
|
|
|
This module has been originally developed by A.M. Kuchling (amk1@erols.com),
|
|
now development has been taken over by Ralph Heinkel (rheinkel-at-email.de).
|
|
If you write to me please make sure to have the word 'SANE' or 'sane' in
|
|
the subject of your mail, otherwise it might be classified as spam in the
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The module exports two object types, a bunch of constants, and two
|
|
functions.
|
|
|
|
get_devices()
|
|
Return a list of 4-tuples containing the available scanning
|
|
devices. Each tuple contains 4 strings: the device name, suitable for
|
|
passing to _open()_; the device's vendor; the model; and the type of
|
|
device, such as 'virtual device' or 'video camera'.
|
|
|
|
>>> import sane ; sane.get_devices()
|
|
[('epson:libusb:001:004', 'Epson', 'GT-8300', 'flatbed scanner')]
|
|
|
|
open(devicename)
|
|
Open a device, given a string containing its name. SANE
|
|
devices have names like 'epson:libusb:001:004'. If the attempt
|
|
to open the device fails, a _sane.error_ exception will be raised. If
|
|
there are no problems, a SaneDev object will be returned.
|
|
As an easy way to open the scanner (if only one is available) just type
|
|
>>> sane.open(sane.get_devices()[0][0])
|
|
|
|
|
|
SaneDev objects
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
The basic process of scanning an image consists of getting a SaneDev
|
|
object for the device, setting various parameters, starting the scan,
|
|
and then reading the image data. Images are composed of one or more
|
|
frames; greyscale and one-pass colour scanners return a single frame
|
|
containing all the image data, but 3-pass scanners will usually return
|
|
3 frames, one for each of the red, green, blue channels.
|
|
|
|
Methods:
|
|
--------
|
|
fileno()
|
|
Returns a file descriptor for the scanning device. This
|
|
method's existence means that SaneDev objects can be used by the
|
|
select module.
|
|
|
|
get_parameters()
|
|
Return a tuple containing information about the current settings of
|
|
the device and the current frame: (format, last_frame,
|
|
pixels_per_line, lines, depth, bytes_per_line).
|
|
|
|
mode -- 'gray' for greyscale image, 'color' for RGB image, or
|
|
one of 'red', 'green', 'blue' if the image is a single
|
|
channel of an RGB image (from PIL's point of view,
|
|
this is equivalent to 'L').
|
|
last_frame -- A Boolean value, which is true if this is the
|
|
last frame of the image, and false otherwise.
|
|
pixels_per_line -- Width of the frame.
|
|
lines -- Height of the frame.
|
|
depth -- Depth of the image, measured in bits. SANE will only
|
|
allow using 8, 16, or 24-bit depths.
|
|
bytes_per_line -- Bytes required to store a single line of
|
|
data, as computed from pixels_per_line and depth.
|
|
|
|
start()
|
|
Start a scan. This function must be called before the
|
|
_snap()_ method can be used.
|
|
|
|
cancel()
|
|
Cancel a scan already in progress.
|
|
|
|
snap(no_cancel=0)
|
|
Snap a single frame of data, returning a PIL Image object
|
|
containing the data. If no_cancel is false, the Sane library function
|
|
sane_cancel is called after the scan. This is reasonable in most cases,
|
|
but may cause backends for duplex ADF scanners to drop the backside image,
|
|
when snap() is called for the front side image. If no_cancel is true,
|
|
cancel() should be called manually, after all scans are finished.
|
|
|
|
scan()
|
|
This is just a shortcut for s.start(); s.snap()
|
|
Returns a PIL image
|
|
|
|
multi_scan()
|
|
This method returns an iterator. It is intended to be used for
|
|
scanning with an automatic document feeder. The next() method of the
|
|
iterator tries to start a scan. If this is successful, it returns a
|
|
PIL Image object, like scan(); if the document feeder runs out of
|
|
paper, it raises StopIteration, thereby signaling that the sequence
|
|
is ran out of items.
|
|
|
|
arr_snap(multipleOf=1)
|
|
same as snap, but the result is a NumArray object. (Not that
|
|
num_array must be installed already at compilation time, otherwise
|
|
this feature will not be activated).
|
|
By default the resulting array has the same number of pixels per
|
|
line as specified in self.get_parameters()[2][0]
|
|
However sometimes it is necessary to obtain arrays where
|
|
the number of pixels per line is e.g. a multiple of 4. This can then
|
|
be achieved with the option 'multipleOf=4'. So if the scanner
|
|
scanned 34 pixels per line, you will obtain an array with 32 pixels
|
|
per line.
|
|
Note that this only works with monochrome images (e.g. gray-scales)
|
|
|
|
arr_scan(multipleOf=1)
|
|
This is just a shortcut for s.start(); s.arr_snap(multipleOf=1)
|
|
Returns a NumArray object
|
|
|
|
close()
|
|
Closes the object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Attributes:
|
|
-----------
|
|
SaneDev objects have a few fixed attributes which are always
|
|
available, and a larger collection of attributes which vary depending
|
|
on the device. An Epson 1660 photo scanner has attributes like
|
|
'mode', 'depth', etc.
|
|
Another (pseudo scanner), the _pnm:0_ device, takes a PNM file and
|
|
simulates a scanner using the image data; a SaneDev object
|
|
representing the _pnm:0_ device therefore has a _filename_ attribute
|
|
which can be changed to specify the filename, _contrast_ and
|
|
_brightness_ attributes to modify the returned image, and so forth.
|
|
|
|
The values of the scanner options may be an integer, floating-point
|
|
value, or string, depending on the nature of the option.
|
|
|
|
sane_signature
|
|
The tuple for this scandev that is returned by sane.get_devices()
|
|
e.g. ('epson:libusb:001:006', 'Epson', 'GT-8300', 'flatbed scanner')
|
|
|
|
scanner_model
|
|
same as sane_signature[1:3], i.e. ('Epson', 'GT-8300') for the case above.
|
|
|
|
optlist
|
|
A list containing the all the options supported by this device.
|
|
|
|
>>> import sane ; s=sane.open('epson:libusb:001:004') ; s.optlist
|
|
['focus_position', 'color_correction', 'sharpness', ...., 'br_x']
|
|
|
|
A closer look at all options listed in s.optlist can be obtained
|
|
through the SaneOption objects.
|
|
|
|
SaneOption objects
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
SANE's option handling is its most elaborate subsystem, intended to
|
|
allow automatically generating dialog boxes and prompts for user
|
|
configuration of the scanning device. The SaneOption object can be
|
|
used to get a human-readable name and description for an option, the
|
|
units to use, and what the legal values are. No information about the
|
|
current value of the option is available; for that, read the
|
|
corresponding attribute of a SaneDev object.
|
|
|
|
This documentation does not explain all the details of SANE's option
|
|
handling; consult the SANE documentation for all the details.
|
|
|
|
A scandevice option is accessed via __getitem__. For example
|
|
s['mode'] returns the option descriptor for the mode-option which
|
|
controls whether the scanner works in color, grayscale, or b/w mode.
|
|
|
|
>>> s['mode']
|
|
Name: mode
|
|
Cur value: Color
|
|
Index: 2
|
|
Title: Scan mode
|
|
Desc: Selects the scan mode (e.g., lineart, monochrome, or color).
|
|
Type: TYPE_STRING
|
|
Unit: UNIT_NONE
|
|
Constr: ['Binary', 'Gray', 'Color']
|
|
active: yes
|
|
settable: yes
|
|
|
|
In order to change 'mode' to 'gray', just type:
|
|
>>> s.mode = 'gray'
|
|
|
|
|
|
With the attributes and methods of sane-option objects it is possible
|
|
to access individual option values:
|
|
|
|
is_active()
|
|
Returns true if the option is active.
|
|
|
|
is_settable()
|
|
Returns true if the option can be set under software control.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Attributes:
|
|
|
|
cap
|
|
An integer containing various flags about the object's
|
|
capabilities; whether it's active, whether it's settable, etc. Also
|
|
available as the _capability_ attribute.
|
|
|
|
constraint
|
|
The constraint placed on the value of this option. If it's
|
|
_None_, there are essentially no constraint of the value. It may also
|
|
be a list of integers or strings, in which case the value *must* be
|
|
one of the possibilities in the list. Numeric values may have a
|
|
3-tuple as the constraint; this 3-tuple contains _(minimum, maximum,
|
|
increment)_, and the value must be in the defined range.
|
|
|
|
desc
|
|
A lengthy description of what the option does; it may be shown
|
|
to the user for clarification.
|
|
|
|
index
|
|
An integer giving the option's index in the option list.
|
|
|
|
name
|
|
A short name for the option, as it comes from the sane-backend.
|
|
|
|
py_name
|
|
The option's name, as a legal Python identifier. The name
|
|
attribute may contain the '-' character, so it will be converted to
|
|
'_' for the py_name attribute.
|
|
|
|
size
|
|
For a string-valued option, this is the maximum length allowed.
|
|
|
|
title
|
|
A single-line string that can be used as a title string.
|
|
|
|
type
|
|
A constant giving the type of this option: will be one of the following
|
|
constants found in the SANE module:
|
|
TYPE_BOOL
|
|
TYPE_INT
|
|
TYPE_FIXED
|
|
TYPE_STRING
|
|
TYPE_BUTTON
|
|
TYPE_GROUP
|
|
|
|
unit
|
|
For numeric-valued options, this is a constant representing
|
|
the unit used for this option. It will be one of the following
|
|
constants found in the SANE module:
|
|
UNIT_NONE
|
|
UNIT_PIXEL
|
|
UNIT_BIT
|
|
UNIT_MM
|
|
UNIT_DPI
|
|
UNIT_PERCENT
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example us usage:
|
|
=================
|
|
>>> import sane
|
|
>>> print 'SANE version:', sane.init()
|
|
>>> print 'Available devices=', sane.get_devices()
|
|
SANE version: (16777230, 1, 0, 14)
|
|
>>> s = sane.open(sane.get_devices()[0][0])
|
|
>>> print 'Device parameters:', s.get_parameters()
|
|
Device parameters: ('L', 1, (424, 585), 1, 53)
|
|
>>> print s.resolution

|
|
|
|
## In order to scan a color image into a PIL object:
|
|
>>> s.mode = 'color'
|
|
>>> s.start()
|
|
>>> img = s.snap()
|
|
>>> img.show()
|
|
|
|
|
|
## In order to obtain a 16-bit grayscale image at 100DPI in a numarray object
|
|
## with bottom-right coordinates set to (160, 120) [in millimeter] :
|
|
>>> s.mode = 'gray'
|
|
>>> s.br_x=160. ; s.br_y=120.
|
|
>>> s.resolution = 100

>>> s.depth=16
|
|
>>> s.start()
|
|
>>> s.get_parameters()[2] # just check the size
