Examples

This example demonstrates the loading of an existing Image file into an instance of aspose.imaging.Image using file path specified


from aspose.imaging import Image
# Create Image instance and initialize it with an existing image file from disk location
with Image.load(r"C:\temp\sample.bmp") as image:
	# do some image processing
	pass

This example creates a new Image file at some disk location as specified by Source property of the BmpOptions instance. Several properties for BmpOptions instance are set before creating the actual image. Especially the Source property, that refers to the actual disk location in this case.


from aspose.imaging import Image
from aspose.imaging.imageoptions import BmpOptions
from aspose.imaging.sources import FileCreateSource

#Create an instance of `BmpOptions` and set its various properties
with BmpOptions() as bmp_options:
	bmp_options.bits_per_pixel = 24

	#Create an instance of `FileCreateSource` and assign it as `source` for the instance of `BmpOptions`
	#Second `Boolean` parameter determines if the file to be created is_temporal or not
	bmp_options.source = FileCreateSource(r"C:\temp\output.bmp", False)

	#Create an instance of Image and initialize it with instance of BmpOptions by calling Create method
	with Image.create(bmp_options, 500, 500) as image:
		#do some image processing
		# save all changes
		image.save()

This example demonstrates the use of a file stream objects to load an existing Image file


from aspose.imaging import Image

# Create an instance of FileStream
with open(r"C:\temp\sample.bmp", "rb"):
	#Create an instance of Image class and load an existing file through FileStream object by calling Load method
	with Image.load(stream) as image:
		#do some image processing.
		pass

This example demonstrates the use of Rotate operation on an image. Example loads an existing image file from some disk location and performs the `Rotate` operation on the image according to the value of enumeration `aspose.imaging.RotateFlipType`


from aspose.imaging import Image, RotateFlipType
#Create an instance of image class and initialize it with an existing image file through File path
with Image.load(r"C:\temp\sample.bmp") as image:
	# rotate the image at 180 degree about X axis
	image.rotate_flip(RotateFlipType.ROTATE_180_FLIP_X)
	# save all changes.
	image.save()

This example shows the simple steps to save an Image. To demonstrate this operation, we load an existing file from some disk location, performs `rotate` operation on the image and save the image in PSD format using file path


from aspose.imaging import Image, RotateFlipType
from aspose.imaging.imageoptions import PsdOptions
from os.path import join as path_join

directory = "c:\\temp"

#Create an instance of image class and initialize it with an existing file through File path
with Image.load(path_join(directory, "sample.bmp")) as image:
	#Rotate the image at 180 degree about X axis
	image.rotate_flip(RotateFlipType.ROTATE_180_FLIP_X)
	#Save the Image as PSD to File Path with default PsdOptions settings
	image.save(path_join(directory, "output.psd"), PsdOptions())

This example shows the process of saving an Image to MemoryStream. To demonstrate this operation, example loads an existing file from some disk location, performs `rotate` operation on the image and save the image in PSD format

from aspose.imaging import Image, RotateFlipType
from aspose.imaging.imageoptions import PsdOptions
from aspose.imaging.extensions import StreamExtensions as stream_ext

#Create an instance of MemoryStream
with stream_ext.create_memory_stream() as stream:
	#Create an instance of image class and initialize it with an existing file through File path
	with Image.load(r"C:\temp\sample.bmp") as image:
		#Rotate the image at 180 degree about X axis
		image.rotate_flip(RotateFlipType.ROTATE_180_FLIP_X)
		#Save the Image as PSD to MemoryStream with default PsdOptions settings
		image.save(stream, PsdOptions())

This example determines whether image can be loaded from a file.


from aspose.imaging import Image

# Use an absolute path to the file
can_load: bool = Image.can_load(r"c:\temp\sample.gif")

This example determines whether image can be loaded from a file stream.


from aspose.imaging import Image
from aspose.imaging.extensions import StreamExtensions as strm_ext
import os.path import join

directory = r"c:\temp"

canLoad = False

# Use a file stream
with open(join(directory, "sample.bmp"), "rb"):
	canLoad = Image.can_load(stream)

print(f"Can load the file: {canLoad}")

# The following data is not a valid image stream, so CanLoad returns false.
imageData = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
with strm_ext.create_memory_stream_from_bytes(imageData) as stream:
	canLoad = Image.can_load(stream)

print(f"Can load the byte buffer: {canLoad}")

This example shows how to determine the image format without loading the entire image from a file.


from aspose.imaging import Image
from os.path import join as path_join

directory = "c:\\temp\\"

# Use an absolute path to the file
file_format = Image.get_file_format(path_join(directory, "sample.gif"))
print(f"The file format is {file_format}")

This example shows how to determine the image format without loading the entire image from a file stream.


from aspose.imaging import Image
from aspose.imaging.extensions import StreamExtensions as strm_ex
from os.path import join as path_join

directory = "c:\\temp\\"

# Use a file stream
with open(path_join(directory, "sample.bmp"), "rb") as stream:
	file_format = Image.get_file_format(stream)
	print(f"The file format is {file_format}")

# The following data is not a valid image stream, so get_file_format returns FileFormat.UNKNOWN
imageData = bytearray([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
with strm_ex.create_memory_stream_from_bytes(imageData) as stream:
	file_format = Image.get_file_format(stream)
	print(f"The file format is {file_format}")

This example shows how to determine whether image can be saved to the specified file format represented by the passed save options.


from aspose.imaging import Image
from aspose.imaging.imageoptions import JpegOptions
from os.path import join as path_join

directory = "c:\\temp\\"

with Image.load(path_join(directory, "sample.gif")) as image:
	saveOptions = JpegOptions()
	saveOptions.quality = 50
	# Determine whether the image can be saved to jpeg
	canSave: bool = image.can_save(saveOptions)
	print(canSave)

resizeSettings.mode = ResizeType.ADAPTIVE_RESAMPLE
# The small rectangular filter
resizeSettings.filter_type = ImageFilterType.SMALL_RECTANGULAR
# The number of colors in the palette.
resizeSettings.entries_count = 256
# The color quantization is not used
resizeSettings.color_quantization_method = ColorQuantizationMethod.NONE

# The euclidean method
resizeSettings.ColorCompareMethod = ColorCompareMethod.Euclidian;

with Image.load(path_join(directory, "sample.gif")) as image:
	# Scale down by 2 times using adaptive resampling.
	image.resize(image.width // 2, image.height // 2, resizeSettings)
	image.save(path_join(directory, "downsample.adaptive.gif"))
