PIL.ImageShow.which(executable)

ImageTransform Module

class PIL.ImageTransform.AffineTransform(data)

Bases: PIL.ImageTransform.Transform

Define an affine image transform.

This function takes a 6-tuple (a, b, c, d, e, f) which contain the first two rows from an affine transform matrix. For each pixel (x, y) in the output image, the new value is taken from a position (a x + b y + c, d x + e y + f) in the input image, rounded to nearest pixel.

This function can be used to scale, translate, rotate, and shear the original image.

See transform()

Parameters

matrix – A 6-tuple (a, b, c, d, e, f) containing the first two rows from an affine transform matrix.

method = 0

class PIL.ImageTransform.ExtentTransform(data)

Bases: PIL.ImageTransform.Transform

Define a transform to extract a subregion from an image.

Maps a rectangle (defined by two corners) from the image to a rectangle of the given size. The resulting image will contain data sampled from between the corners, such that (x0, y0) in the input image will end up at (0,0) in the output image, and (x1, y1) at size.

This method can be used to crop, stretch, shrink, or mirror an arbitrary rectangle in the current image. It is slightly slower than crop, but about as fast as a corresponding resize operation.

See transform()

Parameters

bbox – A 4-tuple (x0, y0, x1, y1) which specifies two points in the input image’s coordinate system. See Coordinate System.

method = 1

class PIL.ImageTransform.MeshTransform(data)

Bases: PIL.ImageTransform.Transform

Define a mesh image transform. A mesh transform consists of one or more individual quad transforms.

See transform()

Parameters

data – A list of (bbox, quad) tuples.

method = 4

class PIL.ImageTransform.QuadTransform(data)

Bases: PIL.ImageTransform.Transform

Define a quad image transform.

Maps a quadrilateral (a region defined by four corners) from the image to a rectangle of the given size.

See transform()

Parameters

xy – An 8-tuple (x0, y0, x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3) which contain the upper left, lower left, lower right, and upper right corner of the source quadrilateral.

method = 3

class PIL.ImageTransform.Transform(data)

Bases: PIL.Image.ImageTransformHandler

getdata()

transform(size, image, **options)

JpegPresets Module

JPEG quality settings equivalent to the Photoshop settings.

More presets can be added to the presets dict if needed.

Can be use when saving JPEG file.

To apply the preset, specify:

quality="preset_name"

To apply only the quantization table:

qtables="preset_name"

To apply only the subsampling setting:

subsampling="preset_name"

Example:

im.save("image_name.jpg", quality="web_high")

Subsampling

Subsampling is the practice of encoding images by implementing less resolution for chroma information than for luma information. (ref.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling)

Possible subsampling values are 0, 1 and 2 that correspond to 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0.

You can get the subsampling of a JPEG with the JpegImagePlugin.get_subsampling(im) function.

Quantization tables

They are values use by the DCT (Discrete cosine transform) to remove unnecessary information from the image (the lossy part of the compression). (ref.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_matrix#Quantization_matrices, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG#Quantization)

You can get the quantization tables of a JPEG with:

im.quantization

This will return a dict with a number of arrays. You can pass this dict directly as the qtables argument when saving a JPEG.

The tables format between im.quantization and quantization in presets differ in 3 ways:

1. The base container of the preset is a list with sublists instead of dict. dict[0] -> list[0], dict[1] -> list[1], …

2. Each table in a preset is a list instead of an array.

3. The zigzag order is remove in the preset (needed by libjpeg >= 6a).

You can convert the dict format to the preset format with the JpegImagePlugin.convert_dict_qtables(dict_qtables) function.
