I'm using PIL 1.1.6 to render a truetype font on my local Windows machine. I'd like to be able to get the application running in OSX and Ubuntu (server). So far the instructions I've found all deal with specific ports repositories on OSX (Darwinports, Macports, etc.) or very outdated instructions for Linux. Has anyone recently got ima...
How would I center-align (and middle-vertical-align) text when using PIL? ...
What would be the best Python library to use when producing text-based images requiring things such as leading, kerning, outlines, drop-shadows, etc? I've worked with PIL before for resizing images, but the methods for working with text seem rather limited. Is there a better alternative? ...
I'd like to separate an image of text into it's component characters, also as images. For example, using the sample below I'd end up with 14 images. I'm only going to be using text on a single line, so the y-height is unimportant - what I need to find is the beginning and end of each letter and crop to those coordinates. That way I wou...
I tried the code listed at Using PIL to make all white pixels transparent to convert some .ico files to .png images with transparent background. It doesn't work on all .ico images, some time it just outputs an image with black background. Sample .ico files can be located here ...
All i need is create a .png image with transparent background, draw some text in black on it and save it using img.save('target.png', option='optimize') It looks like to save .png images in 32-bit mode automatically. Can I reduce the color depth while not make the output images looks much worse before saving? Since it contains only blac...
Currently I'm using a pixel reader via AutoItv3 to perform some actions in a program that is running direct X; A game. Right now the program works fine but as an exercise I've been rewriting it in python. Right now I can do: import ImageGrab # Part of PIL image = ImageGrab.grab() #Define an area to capture. rgb = image.getpix...

Hello. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I have followed Jacob Kaplan-Moss's article on setting up Django with Buildout: http://jacobian.org/writing/django-apps-with-buildout/ Finally, I have got this Buildout to work! ...but I'm now needing PIL and Postgres for a complete isolated Django development area. I've tried to modify my buildout.cfg with...
hi, I want to specify a light source at a particular location in an image using Python. PIL's ImageEnhance module does provide a way to briten an image. but I want to have a control over light source placement to acheieve special effects. Does anyone know how to do this? thank you! ...
I use the Python Image Library (PIL) to resize an image and create a thumbnail. Why is it that my code produces an image that is so crappy and low-quality? Can someone tell me how to modify the code so that it's the highest quality JPEG? def create_thumbnail(buffer, width=100, height=100): im = Image.open(StringIO(buffer)) if im...
I am trying to emboss an image using PIL. PIL provides a basic way to emboss an image ( using ImageFilter.EMBOSS). In image editing packages like GIMP, you can vary parameters like Azimuth, depth and elevation in this embossed image. Does anyone know how to do this with PIL? At the very least I want to adjust the "depth" of the em...
Consider the following code: from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont def addText(img, lTxt): FONT_SIZE = 10 INTERLINE_DISTANCE = FONT_SIZE + 1 font = ImageFont.truetype('arial.ttf', FONT_SIZE) lTxtImageHeight = INTERLINE_DISTANCE * len(lTxt) # create text image lTxtImg = Image.new('RGBA', (img.size[1], l...
Hey guys, sorry but this is going to be a big one.. ;) I'm running into an annoying little snag right now. I'm creating an RSS-style app for work which will be placed on some large LCD displays across the office. The basic concept is to have a client/server setup where the user would use a custom editor to create the individual articles...
I have a hundred 10x10 px images, and I want to combine them into a big 100x100 image. I'm using the Image library to first create a blank image and then paste in the smaller images: blank = Image.new('P',(100,100)) blank.paste(im,box) The smaller images are in color, but the resulting image turns out in all grayscale. Is there a fix ...
I'm trying to install said library for use with Python. I tried downloading the executable installer for Windows, which runs, but says it doesn't find a Python installation. Then tried registering (http://effbot.org/zone/python-register.htm) Python, but the script says it can't register (although the keys appear in my register). Then I ...
Here's the code I'm using: from PIL import Image import ImageFont, ImageDraw import sys import pdb img = Image.new("RGBA",(300,300)) draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img) font = ImageFont.truetype(sys.argv[1],30) draw.text((0,100),"world",font=font,fill="red") del draw img.save(sys.argv[2],"PNG") and here's the image that results: ( for some r...
Is it possible to get the kerning value of two characters in a font using PIL? ...
I'm trying to create a very large image (25000x25000) by pasting together many smaller images. Upon calling Image.new() with such large dimensions, python runs out of memory and I get a MemoryError. Is there a way to write out an image like this incrementally, without having the whole thing resident in RAM? EDIT: Using ImageMagick's m...
So I've finally successfully installed PIL (after many difficulties) on RHEL5 with Django (development version) and Python 2.6 installed at /opt/python2.6. Running selftest.py shows that everything appears to be installed correctly: $ python2.6 selftest.py 57 tests passed. I can upload .png files and .gif files without difficulties,...
