:mod:`jpeg` --- Read and write JPEG files
|
|
=========================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: jpeg
|
|
:platform: IRIX
|
|
:synopsis: Read and write image files in compressed JPEG format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. index:: single: Independent JPEG Group
|
|
|
|
The module :mod:`jpeg` provides access to the jpeg compressor and decompressor
|
|
written by the Independent JPEG Group (IJG). JPEG is a standard for compressing
|
|
pictures; it is defined in ISO 10918. For details on JPEG or the Independent
|
|
JPEG Group software refer to the JPEG standard or the documentation provided
|
|
with the software.

|
|
|
|
A portable interface to JPEG image files is available with the Python Imaging
|
|
Library (PIL) by Fredrik Lundh. Information on PIL is available at
|
|
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/.
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`jpeg` module defines an exception and some functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: error
|
|
|
|
Exception raised by :func:`compress` and :func:`decompress` in case of errors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: compress(data, w, h, b)
|
|
|
|
.. index:: single: JFIF
|
|
|
|
Treat data as a pixmap of width *w* and height *h*, with *b* bytes per pixel.
|
|
The data is in SGI GL order, so the first pixel is in the lower-left corner.
|
|
This means that :func:`gl.lrectread` return data can immediately be passed to
|
|
:func:`compress`. Currently only 1 byte and 4 byte pixels are allowed, the
|
|
former being treated as greyscale and the latter as RGB color. :func:`compress`
|
|
returns a string that contains the compressed picture, in JFIF format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: decompress(data)
|
|
|
|
.. index:: single: JFIF
|
|
|
|
Data is a string containing a picture in JFIF format. It returns a tuple
|
|
``(data, width, height, bytesperpixel)``. Again, the data is suitable to pass
|
|
to :func:`gl.lrectwrite`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: setoption(name, value)
|
|
|
|
Set various options. Subsequent :func:`compress` and :func:`decompress` calls
|
|
will use these options. The following options are available:
|
|
|
|
+-----------------+---------------------------------------------+
|
|
| Option | Effect |
|
|
+=================+=============================================+
|
|
| ``'forcegray'`` | Force output to be grayscale, even if input |
|
|
| | is RGB. |
|
|
+-----------------+---------------------------------------------+
|
|
| ``'quality'`` | Set the quality of the compressed image to |
|
|
| | a value between ``0`` and ``100`` (default |
|
|
| | is ``75``). This only affects compression. |
|
|
+-----------------+---------------------------------------------+
|
|
| ``'optimize'`` | Perform Huffman table optimization. Takes |
|
|
| | longer, but results in smaller compressed |
|
|
| | image. This only affects compression. |
|
|
+-----------------+---------------------------------------------+
|
|
| ``'smooth'`` | Perform inter-block smoothing on |
|
|
| | uncompressed image. Only useful for low- |
|
|
| | quality images. This only affects |
|
|
| | decompression. |
|
|
+-----------------+---------------------------------------------+
