Hi there, I am using the Python Image package to do some Image conversion. I have a "pgm" Image and this must be converted to a "1" Bits / Sample Tiff Image. There for I am using Image.save ("lala.tiff"). *hm* A Tiff Image opt. consists of several pages so I am thinking about using the pytiff package as well. The existing code is like that
parser = ImageFile.Parser () parser.feed (imagecontent) image = parser.close () # Now we have the Image image = image.convert ("1") # reduce to 1 Bits per sample image.save ("lala.tif") # Store as Tiff After everey File has been processed I am using the "tiffcp" command to append all the files to a single tiff-file containing each image as a separate page. eg. "tiffcp fileone.tiff filetwo.tiff filethree.tiff allinone.tiff" Performance is an issue here and therefore I am evaluating the pytiff package. Cause this package can reduce to "1" Bits per Sample and append to tifffiles. So the code would be like this image.save (fileobject, format="tif") tifffile = pytiff.TiffFileReader (fileobject) # do some stuff allinone = pytiff.TiffFileWriter ("allinone.tiff") allinone.append (fifffile) Of course I dont wanna write the "in between" File to disk with image.save () I do wann to to use a memory file object. The Image Documentation says that file object just has to implement seek, tell and write. Does anybody have an example how to do that or maybe a snipplet for an "In Memory" File Object with an unknown size. Kind Regards Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
