python-FloatImg

A pythonesque binding to FloatImg library available at https://git.tetalab.org/tTh/FloatImg

python-FloatImg requires a Python 3 implementation (tested with 3.6.9).

Most function are wrapped into a similar api, sometime with a more consistent naming and an object-oriented approach.

Color values are specified using triplets of float values, like (128.5, 34.234, 242.23).

Installation

python-FloatImg requires a shared object file (.so) that is not yet officialy available from FloatImg.

The file floatimg/settings.py contains the path to the .so file.

Usage

The FloatImg class encapsulate core and file functionnalities of FloatImg library. Import if from the main module:

import floatimg

Image creation

FloatImg has two class methods to create an image.

img = floatimg.create(640, 480, floatimg.RGB)

Or use the create_rgb shortcut:

img = floatimg.create_rgb(640, 480)

Note that calling the destroy method of the instance is not necessary as it will be called automatically at instance destruction.

Or completely duplicate an existing image:

# without copying data
new_img = img.clone()

# with copying data
new_img = img.clone(True)

Image manipulation

Clear image

Reset all pixels to zero.

img.clear()

Copy pixels to another image

img.copy_data(another_img)

Set pixel value

img.put(x, y, (r, g, b))

Get pixel value

color = (r, g, b) = img.get(x, y)

File manipulation

Dump image to file

img.dump("/tmp/image_dump")

Restore image data from a dump file

img.load("/tmp/image_dump")

Create a new image from a dump file

img = floatimg.create_from_dump("/tmp/image_dump")

Get dump metadata

TODO create a FileInfo named tuple.

witdh, height, img_type = floatimg.fileinfos("/tmp/image_dump")

Development

Run tests

Install development requirements (you may add --user if not in a virtual environment or not in system-wide install):

pip install -r requirements-devel.txt

Ensure floatimg containing path is in the PYTHONPATH, this will run the tests and show a coverage report:

pytest --cov=floatimg tests/*
