1. What is Pillow and how is it different from PIL?
GPT-4/Bing Chat/Copilot answers:
Pillow is a fork of the Python Imaging Library (PIL) that aims to provide a more user-friendly and updated version of the library. Pillow is compatible with Python 3 and supports more file formats, image filters, and color management than PIL. PIL is an older library that was last updated in 2009 and does not work well with newer versions of Python. Pillow is a continuation of PIL that adds new features and fixes bugs.
GPT-3.5/ChatGPT answers:
Pillow and PIL (Python Imaging Library) are both Python libraries used for working with images, but they differ in terms of development and compatibility. Here’s an explanation of both:
Pillow:
- Pillow is an open-source Python Imaging Library that serves as a more actively maintained and updated fork of the original PIL. The name “Pillow” was chosen to avoid potential trademark issues with the PIL name.
- Pillow is compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3, making it a more versatile choice for Python developers.
- It provides support for various image formats, image manipulation, image processing, and basic drawing operations.
- Pillow is actively developed, and bug fixes and updates are made to keep it compatible with modern Python versions.
PIL (Python Imaging Library):
- PIL was the original Python Imaging Library that provided image processing capabilities for Python.
- The development of PIL was largely abandoned, and it was not updated to support Python 3 or modern image formats and libraries.
- As a result, PIL became less relevant and was considered outdated for new Python projects.
- While PIL could still be used for some basic image tasks in Python 2, it was not a recommended choice for Python 3 or more complex image processing needs.
In summary, Pillow is essentially a modernized and actively maintained version of PIL. It offers broader compatibility, better support for modern Python versions, and improved handling of image formats and operations. If you are working with Python and need to perform image processing or manipulation tasks, Pillow is generally the preferred library to use over the older and less maintained PIL.
2. What are some file formats supported by Pillow?
GPT-4/Bing Chat/Copilot answers:
Pillow is a Python library that supports a wide variety of image file formats. According to the documentation, Pillow can identify and read over 30 different file formats, and write to most of them. Some of the common file formats that Pillow supports are:
- PNG: Portable Network Graphics, a lossless compression format that supports transparency and interlacing.
- JPEG: Joint Photographic Experts Group, a lossy compression format that supports various quality levels and progressive encoding.
- GIF: Graphics Interchange Format, a lossless compression format that supports animation and transparency.
- TIFF: Tagged Image File Format, a flexible and extensible format that supports various compression methods and metadata.
- BMP: Bitmap, a simple and uncompressed format that supports 1, L, P, or RGB data.
Pillow also supports some less common file formats, such as BLP (Blizzard Mipmap Format), DDS (DirectDraw Surface), EPS (Encapsulated PostScript), ICO (Windows Icon), PSD (Photoshop Document), and WebP (Web Picture). You can find the full list of supported file formats in the documentation or use the Image.registered_extensions()
method to get a dictionary of file extensions and modes supported by Pillow.
GPT-3.5/ChatGPT answers:

It’s important to note that the availability of specific formats may depend on the version of Pillow and the underlying libraries it was built with. Additionally, some formats may support only reading (opening) or writing (saving), so you should consult the Pillow documentation for precise details on format support for your particular use case.
3. How do I open, manipulate, and save images using Pillow?
GPT-4/Bing Chat/Copilot answers:
To open, manipulate, and save images using Pillow, you can follow these steps:
- Import the
Image
module from Pillow in your Python file. For example, you can writefrom PIL import Image
at the top of your file. - Use the
Image.open()
function from theImage
module to open an image file. This returns anImage
object that you can manipulate using various methods and attributes. For example, you can writeimg = Image.open("example.jpg")
to open an image file named โexample.jpg
โ and assign it to a variable named โimg
โ. - Use the methods and attributes of the
Image
object to manipulate the image. For example, you can use the following methods and attributes:resize(size, resample=0)
: Returns a resized copy of the image. Thesize
parameter is a tuple of (width, height) in pixels. Theresample
parameter is an optional filter that can be one of the following constants:Image.NEAREST
,Image.BOX
,Image.BILINEAR
,Image.HAMMING
,Image.BICUBIC
, orImage.LANCZOS
. For example, you can writeimg = img.resize((300, 200))
to resize the image to 300 by 200 pixels using the default filter.rotate(angle, resample=0, expand=0, center=None, translate=None, fillcolor=None)
: Returns a rotated copy of the image. Theangle
parameter is a floating point value that specifies the angle of rotation in degrees, counter-clockwise. The other parameters are optional and can be used to adjust the quality, size, position, and background color of the rotated image. For example, you can writeimg = img.rotate(90)
to rotate the image by 90 degrees counter-clockwise.filter(filter)
: Returns a filtered copy of the image. Thefilter
parameter is a filter object that can be one of the predefined filters from theImageFilter
module or a custom filter created using theImageFilter.Kernel
class. For example, you can writeimg = img.filter(ImageFilter.BLUR)
to apply a blur filter to the image.mode
: An attribute that indicates the pixel format of the image. It can be one of the following values: โ1
โ, โL
โ, โP
โ, โRGB
โ, โRGBA
โ, โCMYK
โ, โYCbCr
โ, โLAB
โ, or โHSV
โ. For example, you can writeprint(img.mode)
to print the mode of the image.size
: An attribute that returns a tuple of (width, height) in pixels. For example, you can writeprint(img.size)
to print the size of the image.
- Use the
save()
method of theImage
object to save the image to a file. You can specify the file name and format as parameters. For example, you can writeimg.save("new_example.png")
to save the image as a PNG file named โnew_example.png
โ.
You can find more information and examples about how to use Pillow in the documentation or in this tutorial.
GPT-3.5/ChatGPT answers:
You can open, manipulate, and save images using Pillow in Python by following these basic steps:
a. Import the Pillow module:
You need to import the Image
module from the PIL (Pillow) package. Here’s how you can do it:
1 |
from PIL import Image |
b. Open an image:
Use the Image.open()
method to open an image. Provide the path to the image file as an argument.
1 |
image = Image.open('example.jpg') |
c. Manipulate the image:
Pillow provides various methods for manipulating images. Here are some common operations:
- Resize: Use the
resize()
method to change the dimensions of the image.
1 |
image = image.resize((width, height)) |
- Crop: Use the
crop()
method to crop a specific portion of the image.
1 |
image = image.crop((left, top, right, bottom)) |
- Rotate: Use the
rotate()
method to rotate the image by a specified angle.
1 |
image = image.rotate(90) # Rotate by 90 degrees clockwise |
- Filter: Apply various filters to the image using the
filter()
method.
1 2 3 |
from PIL import ImageFilter image = image.filter(ImageFilter.GaussianBlur(radius=5)) |
- Convert to Grayscale: Convert the image to grayscale using the
convert()
method.
1 |
image = image.convert('L') # 'L' mode represents grayscale |
- Drawing: Add text or draw shapes on the image using the drawing module.
1 2 3 4 |
from PIL import ImageDraw draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image) draw.text((x, y), 'Hello, Pillow!', fill='red') |
d. Save the manipulated image:
Use the save()
method to save the modified image. Specify the filename and optionally the file format.
1 |
image.save('output.jpg') |
After a slight of modification, here’s a complete example that demonstrates these steps:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 |
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFilter # Open an image image = Image.open('C:/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/cat1.jpg') # Resize the image image = image.resize((800, 600)) # Crop a portion of the image image = image.crop((100, 100, 700, 500)) # Rotate the image image = image.rotate(90) # Apply a Gaussian blur filter image = image.filter(ImageFilter.GaussianBlur(radius=5)) # Convert the image to grayscale image = image.convert('L') # 'L' mode represents grayscale # Draw text on the image draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image) draw.text((50, 50), 'Pillow Example (Ft. ChatGPT)', fill='white') # Save the manipulated image image.save('C:/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/cat1_output.jpg') |
This example opens an image, resizes it, crops a portion, rotates it, applies a filter, converts it to grayscale, adds text, and saves the final image. You can customize these operations based on your specific requirements.

libjpeg
) installed on your system. You may need to install the necessary libraries to supportJPEG
image processing in Pillow.
10. AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'some_method'
:
- This error can happen if you try to access a method that is not available at the module level. Check the correct usage of methods and functions within the Pillow library.
11. Image DecompressionBombError
:
- This error occurs when trying to open an image that is too large and may be a security risk due to potential decompression attacks. You can increase the limit for handling large images by using
Image.MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS
, but exercise caution.
12. PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied
:
- This error typically indicates that you don’t have permission to read or write to the specified file or directory. Ensure you have the necessary permissions.
When you encounter errors while working with Pillow, it’s crucial to carefully read the error message, check your code for potential issues, and consult the Pillow documentation for guidance on resolving specific problems. Additionally, make sure you are using the correct versions of Python and Pillow and that any required external libraries are installed on your system.
5. How do I convert an image to a different format with Pillow?
GPT-4/Bing Chat/Copilot answers:
To convert an image to a different format with Pillow, you can use the save()
method of the Image
object and specify the desired format as a parameter. For example, if you want to convert a JPEG
image to a PNG
image, you can use the following code:
1 2 3 4 |
from PIL import Image img = Image.open("image.jpg") # open the JPEG image img.save("image.png", format="PNG") # save the image as PNG |
You can also use the convert()
method of the Image
object to change the mode of the image before saving it. For example, if you want to convert a PNG
image with transparency to a JPEG
image without transparency, you can use the following code:
1 2 3 4 5 |
from PIL import Image img = Image.open("image.png") # open the PNG image img = img.convert("RGB") # convert the image to RGB mode img.save("image.jpg", format="JPEG") # save the image as JPEG |
Run the example above on the PyScripter IDE will give you the following output:
You can learn more about how to convert images using Pillow from these sources.
GPT-3.5/ChatGPT answers:
You can convert an image to a different format using Python’s Pillow library. Here’s a basic example of how to do this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
from PIL import Image # Open the source image source_image = Image.open('source_image.jpg') # Convert and save the image in a different format source_image.save('output_image.png') |
In this code:
- We import the
Image
module from Pillow. - We open the source image using
Image.open('source_image.jpg')
, where ‘source_image.jpg
‘ is the path to your source image. - We use the
save()
method to save the image in a different format. When you provide a different file extension in the file name (e.g., ‘output_image.png
‘), Pillow will save the image in the format corresponding to the provided extension.
Pillow will automatically determine the output format based on the file extension you specify. In this case, it will save the image as a PNG
file. You can specify other formats such as JPEG
, GIF
, BMP
, and more by changing the file extension accordingly.
Here’s an example of converting the image to a JPEG
format:
1 |
source_image.save('output_image.jpg') |
Just replace ‘output_image.jpg
‘ with your desired output file name and format. Pillow will take care of the format conversion for you.
6. Can you show me how to create a thumbnail of an image using Pillow?
GPT-4/Bing Chat/Copilot answers:
Sure, I can show you how to create a thumbnail of an image using Pillow, which is a library for image processing in Python. Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Import the
Image
module from the Pillow library:from PIL import Image
- Use the
Image.open()
function to open an image file and return anImage
object:img = Image.open("image.jpg")
- Set the desired size for the thumbnail image as a tuple of width and height:
thumb_size = (200, 200)
- Use the
Image.thumbnail()
method to resize the image to a thumbnail version of itself, no larger than the given size. This method preserves the aspect ratio of the image and modifies the image object in place:img.thumbnail(thumb_size)
- Use the
Image.save()
function to save the modified image to a new file:img.save("thumbnail.jpg")
You can learn more about how to create thumbnails using Pillow from these sources.
GPT-3.5/ChatGPT answers:
Certainly! You can use Pillow to create a thumbnail of an image with ease. Here’s an example of how to do it:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
from PIL import Image # Open the source image source_image = Image.open('source_image.jpg') # Create a thumbnail with a specified size thumbnail_size = (100, 100) # Change to your desired thumbnail size thumbnail = source_image.copy() # Create a copy of the source image thumbnail.thumbnail(thumbnail_size) # Save the thumbnail thumbnail.save('thumbnail.jpg') |
In this code:
- We open the source image using
Image.open('source_image.jpg')
, where ‘source_image.jpg
‘ is the path to your source image. - We specify the size of the thumbnail you want by setting the
thumbnail_size
variable. In this example, we use(100, 100)
as the size. Adjust it to your desired dimensions. - We create a copy of the source image using the
copy()
method to preserve the original image. - We generate the thumbnail by calling the
thumbnail()
method on the copied image and passing thethumbnail_size
as an argument. - Finally, we save the generated thumbnail using the
save()
method, specifying the desired file name and format (e.g., ‘thumbnail.jpg
‘).
This code will open an image, create a thumbnail of the specified size, and save it as ‘thumbnail.jpg
‘. You can adjust the thumbnail_size
to fit your specific requirements.
Run the example above on the PyScripter IDE will give you the following output:

1. We have a Delphi form with a button (Button1
) and a memo control (Memo1
).
2. The Python4Delphi components, TPythonEngine
and TPythonModule
, are used for running Python scripts.
3. When the button is clicked, Python4Delphi initializes the PythonEngine
, imports the necessary Python modules (Pillow
), and executes a Python script that opens an image, creates a thumbnail, and saves it.
4. The Python output is captured and displayed in the Delphi memo control (Memo1
).
Make sure to replace “input_image.jpg
” and “output_thumbnail.jpg
” with the actual file paths and names you want to use.
This example demonstrates how to integrate Pillow
with a Delphi application using Python4Delphi
to perform image processing tasks.

unit MainForm; interface uses Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics, Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls, Vcl.WinXCtrls, PythonEngine, PythonGUIInputOutput, Vcl.Grids, Vcl.Menus; type TForm1 = class(TForm) PythonEngine1: TPythonEngine; Button1: TButton; Memo1: TMemo; procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject); end; var Form1: TForm1; implementation {$R *.dfm} procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin // Initialize PythonEngine PythonEngine1.LoadDll; PythonEngine1.UseLastKnownVersion := False; PythonEngine1.RegVersion := '3.9'; try // Execute the Python script PythonEngine1.ExecStrings( 'import sys' + sLineBreak + 'sys.path.append("path_to_image_processing_script_directory")' + sLineBreak + 'import image_processing' // 'image_processing' is the name of your Python script ); // Display Python output in the Delphi Memo control Memo1.Lines.Add('Python Output:'); Memo1.Lines.Add(PythonEngine1.SysModule.stdout.AsString); finally // Finalize PythonEngine PythonEngine1.Finalize; end; end; end. |
In this Delphi code:
- We import the
PythonEngine
component, which is part of DelphiVCL4Python, and other relevant VCL components. - When the button is clicked, the Python script is executed using
PythonEngine1.ExecStrings()
. We append the path to the directory containing the Python script usingsys.path.append()
. - The output of the Python script is displayed in the Delphi memo control (
Memo1
).
Make sure to replace “path_to_image_processing_script_directory
” with the actual path to the directory containing the image_processing.py
script.
This example demonstrates how to use Pillow
within a Python script executed by DelphiVCL4Python
for image processing within your Delphi application.

GPT-4/Bing Chat/Copilot answers:
Sure, I can show you the Python code to use Pillow with DelphiFMX4Python, which are libraries for image processing and graphical user interface development in Python.
Here are the steps you need to follow:
- Install Pillow and DelphiFMX4Python using
pip
:
1 |
pip install pillow delphifmx |
- Import the
Image
andImageQt
modules from the Pillow library:
1 |
from PIL import Image, ImageQt |
- Import the
FMX
module from DelphiFMX4Python:
1 |
from delphifmx import FMX |
- Create a FMX
Application
object and a FMXForm
object:
1 2 |
app = FMX.Application() form = FMX.Forms.TForm(None) |
- Set the properties of the
Form
, such asCaption
,Width
,Height
,Position
, etc.:
1 2 3 4 |
form.Caption = "Pillow with DelphiFMX4Python" form.Width = 500 form.Height = 500 form.Position = FMX.Forms.TPosition.poScreenCenter |
- Create a FMX image object and set its properties, such as
Parent
,Align
,Stretch
, etc.:
1 2 3 4 |
image = FMX.Objects.TImage(form) image.Parent = form image.Align = FMX.Types.TAlignLayout.Client image.WrapMode = FMX.Objects.TImageWrapMode.Fit |
- Use the
Image.open()
function from Pillow to open an image file and return an Image object:
1 |
img = Image.open("sample.jpg") |
- Use the
ImageQt.ImageQt()
function from Pillow to convert the Image object to a FMX-compatibleQImage
object:
1 |
qimg = ImageQt.ImageQt(img) |
- Use the
image.Bitmap.LoadFromStream()
method from FMX to load theQImage
object into the image object:
1 |
image.Bitmap.LoadFromStream(qimg) |
- Show the form and run the application:
1 2 |
form.Show() app.Run() |
This code will create a FMX window that displays an image using Pillow and DelphiFMX4Python. You can learn more about how to use these modules from their official documentation or this tutorial.
GPT-3.5/ChatGPT answers:
As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, DelphiFMX4Python is a framework that allows Python scripting within Delphi FireMonkey (FMX) applications. However, working with Pillow specifically within DelphiFMX4Python is a less common use case. DelphiFMX4Python primarily focuses on Python scripts for event handling and automation.
That said, it’s possible to integrate Pillow with DelphiFMX4Python to perform image processing tasks within your Delphi FireMonkey application. Here’s a high-level outline of how you can achieve this:
1. Set Up DelphiFMX4Python:
Ensure that you have DelphiFMX4Python installed and set up in your Delphi development environment. This typically involves adding the necessary components to your Delphi form.
2. Python Script:
Create a Python script that uses Pillow for image processing. For example, you can open, manipulate, and save images. Save this script as a separate .py
file.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
from PIL import Image # Open an image img = Image.open('input_image.jpg') # Perform image processing operations with Pillow # Save the result img.save('output_image.jpg') |
3. Delphi Integration:
In your DelphiFMX4Python application, you can use the TPyDelphiWrapper
component to execute the Python script. Here’s a simplified example:
1 2 3 4 5 |
procedure TForm1.RunPythonScript; begin PyDelphiWrapper1.Script.Text := LoadPythonScript('your_script.py'); // Load the Python script PyDelphiWrapper1.Execute; // Execute the script end; |
4. Load the Python Script:
You need to load the Python script from the file you created in step 2. You can use Delphi functions like LoadPythonScript
or provide the script text directly.
5. Execute the Python Script:
Use the Execute
method to run the Python script.
6. Handle Output:
If your Python script generates output, you can capture it and use it within your Delphi FireMonkey application.
Remember that DelphiFMX4Python may have its own specifics and limitations, so it’s essential to refer to the framework’s documentation and resources for detailed guidance on integrating external Python libraries like Pillow.
Please check the official documentation or any updates related to DelphiFMX4Python, as there may have been developments or changes in how it works since my last update in January 2022.
If you found that the ChatGPT and Bing Chat answers for points 7, 8, and 9 are not really satisfying, please refer to the following articles for the advanced use scenario of DelphiFMX4Python and Pillow:

- Import the
tkinter
module:
1 |
import tkinter as tk |
- Create a Tkinter
root
window and acanvas
widget:
1 2 |
root = tk.Tk() canvas = tk.Canvas(root, width=500, height=500) |
- Use the
Image.open()
function from Pillow to open an image file and return an Image object:
1 |
img = Image.open("sample.jpg") |
- Use the
ImageTk.PhotoImage()
function from Pillow to convert the Image object to a Tkinter-compatible photo image object:
1 |
photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img) |
- Use the
canvas.create_image()
method from Tkinter to display the photo image object on the canvas widget:
1 |
canvas.create_image(250, 250, image=photo) |
- Pack the canvas widget and run the
mainloop
of the Tkinter application:
1 2 |
canvas.pack() root.mainloop() |

import tkinter as tk from tkinter import filedialog from PIL import Image, ImageTk def open_image(): file_path = filedialog.askopenfilename() # Open a file dialog to select an image if file_path: image = Image.open(file_path) photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image) image_label.config(image=photo) image_label.image = photo # Keep a reference to the image to prevent it from being garbage collected # Create the main Tkinter window root = tk.Tk() root.title("Image Viewer") # Create an "Open Image" button open_button = tk.Button(root, text="Open Image", command=open_image) open_button.pack() # Create a Label to display the image image_label = tk.Label(root) image_label.pack() # Run the Tkinter main loop root.mainloop() |
In this code:
- We import the necessary modules: Tkinter (
tk
), the file dialog (filedialog
), and Pillow (PIL
, used viaImage
andImageTk
). - We define the
open_image
function, which opens a file dialog to choose an image, opens the selected image using Pillow, and displays it in a TkinterLabel
. - We create the main Tkinter window with a title.
- We create an “
Open Image
” button that calls theopen_image
function when clicked. - We create a
Label
(image_label
) to display the image. - Finally, we run the Tkinter main loop to start the GUI application.
When you click the “Open Image
” button, a file dialog will appear, allowing you to select an image. After selecting an image, it will be displayed in the Tkinter window using Pillow.
Run the example above on the PyScripter IDE will give you the following Image Viewer GUI app:

In this code:
- We import the necessary modules:
wx
,PIL
(Pillow), andio
. - We create a class,
ImageFrame
, which is a wxPython frame that displays an image. - In the
load_image
method, we open an image using Pillow from the provided file path. We read the image into memory as bytes and use Pillow to open it. - In the
display_image
method, we convert the Pillow image to a wxPython image and then to a bitmap, and display it on aStaticBitmap
control within the frame. - In the
__main__
block, we create a wxPython app, anImageFrame
, and display the frame.
Replace “example.jpg
” with the path to the image you want to open and display. This code demonstrates how to use Pillow to load and display an image within a wxPython application.

to open an image file, and then we load the image using Pillow. We convert the Pillow image to aQPixmap
for display in theQLabel
. - We create an instance of the
QApplication
andImageApp
, display the main window, and start the PySide event loop in themain
function.
When you run this code, you’ll have a simple PySide-based image viewer that allows you to open and display images using Pillow.
15. Can you show me the Python code to use Pillow with PySimpleGUI?
GPT-4/Bing Chat/Copilot answers:
Sure, I can show you some Python code to use Pillow with PySimpleGUI. Pillow is a Python library that provides various image processing capabilities, such as opening, resizing, cropping, rotating, and saving images. PySimpleGUI is a cross-platform GUI toolkit that allows you to create graphical user interfaces with Python. To use Pillow with PySimpleGUI, you need to install both libraries first. You can do that by running the following commands in your terminal:
1 2 |
pip install Pillow pip install PySimpleGUI |
Once you have installed them, you can import them in your Python script:
1 2 |
from PIL import Image import PySimpleGUI as sg |
Then, you can use the Image.open()
function to load an image file into a Pillow object. For example, if you have an image named cat.jpg
in your current directory, you can do this:
1 |
img = Image.open("cat.jpg") |
To display the image in a PySimpleGUI window, you need to convert the Pillow object into a PySimpleGUI Image object. You can do that by using the sg.Image.from_pil_image()
method:
1 |
pygui_img = sg.Image.from_pil_image(img) |
Then, you can create a PySimpleGUI Window
object and add the PySimpleGUI Image
object to it as a child widget. You can also set the title and size of the window as you like:
1 |
window = sg.Window("Cat Image", [[pygui_img]], size=(500, 400)) |
Finally, you can call the read()
method on the window object to start the GUI event loop and show the window on the screen:
1 |
window.read() |
I hope this helps you understand how to use Pillow with PySimpleGUI. If you want to learn more about these libraries, you can check out their documentation pages. Have fun with Python! ๐
GPT-3.5/ChatGPT answers:
Certainly! PySimpleGUI is a wrapper around tkinter, Qt, WxPython, and Remi, and it provides a simple interface for creating GUI applications. Here’s a basic example of how to use Pillow with PySimpleGUI to create a simple image viewer:
First, make sure you have PySimpleGUI and Pillow installed. You can install them using pip
:
1 2 |
pip install PySimpleGUI pip install Pillow |
Now, create a simple PySimpleGUI script that uses Pillow to open and display an image:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 |
import PySimpleGUI as sg from PIL import Image, ImageTk import io def main(): layout = [ [sg.Image(key='-IMAGE-')], [sg.FileBrowse('Open Image'), sg.Button('Exit')] ] window = sg.Window('Image Viewer', layout, resizable=True, finalize=True) while True: event, values = window.read() if event == sg.WINDOW_CLOSED or event == 'Exit': break elif event == 'Open Image': file_path = values['FileBrowse'] if file_path: image = open_and_resize_image(file_path) window['-IMAGE-'].update(data=image) window.close() def open_and_resize_image(file_path): image = Image.open(file_path) image.thumbnail((300, 300)) image_data = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image) return image_data if __name__ == '__main__': main() |
In this code:
- We import the necessary modules:
PySimpleGUI
,Image
, andImageTk
fromPillow
, andio
. - We define the
open_and_resize_image
function to open an image using Pillow, resize it, and convert it to a format compatible with PySimpleGUI. - We create a PySimpleGUI window with an Image element and buttons for opening an image and exiting the application.
- The window is launched in a loop, waiting for events.
- When the “
Open Image
” button is clicked, the selected image is opened and resized, and the Image element is updated with the new image. - The loop continues until the user closes the window or clicks the “
Exit
” button.
Replace the “example.jpg
” with the path to the image you want to open and display.
This example provides a basic image viewer using PySimpleGUI and Pillow. Feel free to expand on this code to add more features or improve the user interface according to your needs.
16. Can you show me the Python code to use Pillow with PyForms GUI?
GPT-4/Bing Chat/Copilot answers:
Sure, I can show you some Python code to use Pillow with PyForms GUI. Pillow is a Python library that provides various image processing capabilities, such as opening, resizing, cropping, rotating, and saving images. PyForms GUI is a software layer, part of the PyForms main library. This layer implements the execution of a PyForms application as Windows GUI. PyForms is a Python 3 cross-environment framework that aims to boost the development productivity. The library provides an API in Python to develop applications that can be executed in Windows GUI mode, Web mode, or in Terminal mode. To use Pillow with PyForms GUI, you need to install both libraries first. You can do that by running the following commands in your terminal:
1 2 |
pip install Pillow pip install PyForms-GUI |
Once you have installed them, you can import them in your Python script:
1 2 3 4 5 |
from PIL import Image import pyforms from pyforms.basewidget import BaseWidget from pyforms.controls import ControlFile from pyforms.controls import ControlImage |
Then, you can use the Image.open()
function to load an image file into a Pillow object. For example, if you have an image named cat.jpg
in your current directory, you can do this:
1 |
img = Image.open("cat.jpg") |
To display the image in a PyForms GUI window, you need to convert the Pillow object into a PyForms GUI ControlImage object. You can do that by using the ControlImage.from_PIL()
method:
1 |
pyforms_img = ControlImage.from_PIL(img) |
Then, you can create a PyForms GUI BaseWidget
object and add the PyForms GUI ControlImage
object to it as a child widget. You can also set the title and size of the window as you like:
1 2 3 4 |
window = BaseWidget("Cat Image") window._formset = [pyforms_img] window.set_margin(10) window.resize(500, 400) |
Finally, you can call the start_app()
function on the window
object to start the PyForms GUI event loop and show the window
on the screen:
1 |
pyforms.start_app(window) |
I hope this helps you understand how to use Pillow with PyForms GUI. If you want to learn more about these libraries, you can check out their documentation pages. Have fun with Python! ๐
GPT-3.5/ChatGPT answers:
As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, PyForms is a Python framework for developing GUI applications. If you want to use Pillow with PyForms, you can create a PyForms application and use Pillow for image processing within that application.
Please ensure you have both PyForms and Pillow installed:
1 2 |
pip install pyforms pip install Pillow |
Here’s a basic example of a PyForms application that uses Pillow to open and display an image:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 |
from pyforms import BaseWidget from pyforms.Controls import ControlButton, ControlFile from PIL import Image from io import BytesIO from IPython.display import display class ImageApp(BaseWidget): def __init__(self): super(ImageApp, self).__init__('Image Viewer') # Define PyForms controls self._btn_open = ControlButton('Open Image') self._file_open = ControlFile('File') # Bind event handlers self._btn_open.value = self.__btn_open_action self._file_open.changed_event = self.__file_open_changed # Set the form main widget self.formset = [ ('_btn_open', '_file_open'), ] def __btn_open_action(self): self._file_open.click() def __file_open_changed(self): image_path = self._file_open.value if image_path: # Open and manipulate the image using Pillow pil_image = Image.open(image_path) pil_image.thumbnail((300, 300)) # Resize the image to fit within 300x300 pixels # Display the manipulated image (Note: this works in IPython/Jupyter) display(pil_image) if __name__ == "__main__": from pyforms import start_app start_app(ImageApp) |
In this code:
- We import the necessary modules from
PyForms
,Pillow
, andIPython
. - We create a
ImageApp
class that inherits fromBaseWidget
. - Inside the class, we define PyForms controls (
ControlButton
andControlFile
) for opening an image. - We bind event handlers (
__btn_open_action
and__file_open_changed
) to the controls. - When the “
Open Image
” button is clicked or a file is selected using the file control, the__file_open_changed
method is triggered. - In
__file_open_changed
, we open and manipulate the image using Pillow, and display it (Note: displaying directly works in IPython/Jupyter environments). - We start the PyForms application using
start_app(ImageApp)
.
Keep in mind that PyForms may have its own way of handling GUI elements and events, so the code structure may differ based on your specific requirements and PyForms version.
Please refer to the official documentation or resources related to PyForms for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
