:mod:`imgfile` --- Support for SGI imglib files
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: imgfile
|
|
:platform: IRIX
|
|
:synopsis: Support for SGI imglib files.
|
|
:deprecated:
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated:: 2.6
|
|
The :mod:`imgfile` module has been removed in Python 3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`imgfile` module allows Python programs to access SGI imglib image
|
|
files (also known as :file:`.rgb` files). The module is far from complete, but
|
|
is provided anyway since the functionality that there is enough in some cases.
|
|
Currently, colormap files are not supported.
|
|
|
|
The module defines the following variables and functions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. exception:: error
|
|
|
|
This exception is raised on all errors, such as unsupported file type, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: getsizes(file)
|
|
|
|
This function returns a tuple ``(x, y, z)`` where *x* and *y* are the size of
|
|
the image in pixels and *z* is the number of bytes per pixel. Only 3 byte RGB
|
|
pixels and 1 byte greyscale pixels are currently supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: read(file)
|
|
|
|
This function reads and decodes the image on the specified file, and returns it
|
|
as a Python string. The string has either 1 byte greyscale pixels or 4 byte RGBA
|
|
pixels. The bottom left pixel is the first in the string. This format is
|
|
suitable to pass to :func:`gl.lrectwrite`, for instance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: readscaled(file, x, y, filter[, blur])
|
|
|
|
This function is identical to read but it returns an image that is scaled to the
|
|
given *x* and *y* sizes. If the *filter* and *blur* parameters are omitted
|
|
scaling is done by simply dropping or duplicating pixels, so the result will be
|
|
less than perfect, especially for computer-generated images.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can specify a filter to use to smooth the image after
|
|
scaling. The filter forms supported are ``'impulse'``, ``'box'``,
|
|
``'triangle'``, ``'quadratic'`` and ``'gaussian'``. If a filter is specified
|
|
*blur* is an optional parameter specifying the blurriness of the filter. It
|
|
defaults to ``1.0``.
|
|
|
|
:func:`readscaled` makes no attempt to keep the aspect ratio correct, so that is
|
|
the users' responsibility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: ttob(flag)
|
|
|
|
This function sets a global flag which defines whether the scan lines of the
|
|
image are read or written from bottom to top (flag is zero, compatible with SGI
|
|
GL) or from top to bottom(flag is one, compatible with X). The default is zero.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: write(file, data, x, y, z)
|
|
|
|
This function writes the RGB or greyscale data in *data* to image file *file*.
|
|
*x* and *y* give the size of the image, *z* is 1 for 1 byte greyscale images or
|
|
3 for RGB images (which are stored as 4 byte values of which only the lower
|
|
three bytes are used). These are the formats returned by :func:`gl.lrectread`.
