hi am a beginner in python and PIL .I need to read an RGB 8 bit image (am using jpeg )and pack the rgb color values into a double value so i can store the image as a list of pixelvalues.From my application i should be able to call rgbimage1.getpixellist() to retrieve the double values of an image. Do i need to create a new class for this?I made something like
class myrgbimage: def __init__(self,filename): def _readimage(self): im=Image.open(filename) self._readImage(filename) self._wd,self._ht=im.size for y in range(self._ht): for x in range(self._wd): r,g,b=im.getpixel((x,y)) pval=self.rgbTodoubleval((r,g,b)) self._pixellist.append(pval) def rgbTodoubleval(self,(r,g,b)): alpha=255 pixelvalue=(alpha<<24)|(r<<16 )|( g<<8) | b return pixelvalue the way i am currently using this is to create instances using filenames and then retrieving the list of pixelvalues in the image. like for z in imagefilenamelist: myimage=myrgbimage(z) imagelist.append(z) so later on i can take each instance and get its width,height and pixellist and work with them..anyway the code takes too much time and I wish to know if i can get these 'packed pixelvalues' straight away without using the above class jim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
