PIL Package (autodoc of remaining modules)

Reference for modules whose documentation has not yet been ported or written can be found here.

PIL Module

exception PIL.UnidentifiedImageError

Bases: OSError

Raised in PIL.Image.open() if an image cannot be opened and identified.

If a PNG image raises this error, setting ImageFile.LOAD_TRUNCATED_IMAGES to true may allow the image to be opened after all. The setting will ignore missing data and checksum failures.

BdfFontFile Module

Parse X Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF)

class PIL.BdfFontFile.BdfFontFile(fp: BinaryIO)

Bases: FontFile

Font file plugin for the X11 BDF format.

PIL.BdfFontFile.bdf_char(f: BinaryIO) → tuple[str, int, tuple[tuple[int, int], tuple[int, int, int, int], tuple[int, int, int, int]], Image] | None

ContainerIO Module

class PIL.ContainerIO.ContainerIO(file: IO, offset: int, length: int)

Bases: Generic

A file object that provides read access to a part of an existing file (for example a TAR file).

isatty() → bool

read(n: int = 0) → AnyStr

Read data.

Parameters:

n – Number of bytes to read. If omitted or zero, read until end of region.

Returns:

An 8-bit string.

readline() → AnyStr

Read a line of text.

Returns:

An 8-bit string.

readlines() → list[AnyStr]

Read multiple lines of text.

Returns:

A list of 8-bit strings.

seek(offset: int, mode: Literal[0, 1, 2] = 0) → None

Move file pointer.

Parameters:

• offset – Offset in bytes.

• mode – Starting position. Use 0 for beginning of region, 1 for current offset, and 2 for end of region. You cannot move the pointer outside the defined region.

tell() → int

Get current file pointer.

Returns:

Offset from start of region, in bytes.

FontFile Module

class PIL.FontFile.FontFile

Bases: object

Base class for raster font file handlers.

bitmap: Image | None = None

compile() → None

Create metrics and bitmap

save(filename: str) → None

PIL.FontFile.puti16(fp: BinaryIO, values: tuple[int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int]) → None

Write network order (big-endian) 16-bit sequence

GdImageFile Module

Note

This format cannot be automatically recognized, so the class is not registered for use with PIL.Image.open(). To open a gd file, use the PIL.GdImageFile.open() function instead.

Warning

THE GD FORMAT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR DATA INTERCHANGE. This implementation is provided for convenience and demonstrational purposes only.

class PIL.GdImageFile.GdImageFile(fp=None, filename=None)

Bases: ImageFile

Image plugin for the GD uncompressed format. Note that this format is not supported by the standard PIL.Image.open() function. To use this plugin, you have to import the PIL.GdImageFile module and use the PIL.GdImageFile.open() function.

format: str | None = 'GD'

format_description: str | None = 'GD uncompressed images'

PIL.GdImageFile.open(fp: StrOrBytesPath | IO[bytes], mode: str = 'r') → GdImageFile

Load texture from a GD image file.

Parameters:

• fp – GD file name, or an opened file handle.

• mode – Optional mode. In this version, if the mode argument is given, it must be “r”.

Returns:

An image instance.

Raises:

OSError – If the image could not be read.

WalImageFile Module

This reader is based on the specification available from: https://www.flipcode.com/archives/Quake_2_BSP_File_Format.shtml and has been tested with a few sample files found using google.

Note

This format cannot be automatically recognized, so the reader is not registered for use with PIL.Image.open(). To open a WAL file, use the PIL.WalImageFile.open() function instead.

class PIL.WalImageFile.WalImageFile(fp=None, filename=None)

Bases: ImageFile

format: str | None = 'WAL'

format_description: str | None = 'Quake2 Texture'

load()

Load image data based on tile list

PIL.WalImageFile.open(filename)

Load texture from a Quake2 WAL texture file.

By default, a Quake2 standard palette is attached to the texture. To override the palette, use the PIL.Image.Image.putpalette() method.

Parameters:

filename – WAL file name, or an opened file handle.

Returns:

An image instance.
