Hi: I'm working on a user-friendly, intuitive interface to PIL and have some questions. Before preparing a patch, I was hoping that members of this group would suggest ways to proceed.
Here is what I've done so far: in the module pil.py, posted to http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/patches/pil.py there are wrappers for PIL methods which will implement autocontrast blend convert crop various filters (sharpening, for example) roll (shift the pixels, with wrapping) text , among others. These are all implemented as functions. The docstrings require a few image test files, http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/patches/pil-test-image1.png http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wdj/patches/pil-test-image2.png (photos of mine which I placed in the public domain) To test this module out, you can (for example) (a) create a clone, (b) copy it to sage/interfaces, (c) copy the png files somewhere on your computer, (d) start Sage and type from sage.interfaces.pil import *. The paths in the docstrings need to be modified to the paths you placed the png files in. Questions: 1. Where should this module go? In sage/interfaces? 2. Should I create up a "wrapper class" for PIL (say, "class PILimage(SageObject):"?) and copy the wrapper functions (mentioned above) to methods of it? 3. Should I provide an interface with Graphics objects? In other words, instead of providing a raster image (such as pil-test-image.png) to create an instance of the PILimage class, once could also provide and instand of the Graphics class. (I don't know how to do this right now, but am wondering on what others thing of this idea.) 4. Should I interface also with pyglet classes? (Pyglet is included with sympy, hence with sage, and does some very very basic "image processing".) Again, I don't know how this would be done... Thanks in advance for any feedback. - David Joyner --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
