编写自己的文件解码器

警告

Pillow >= 2.1.0 no longer automatically imports any file in the Python path with a name ending in ImagePlugin.py. You will need to import your decoder manually.

Example¶

The following plug-in supports a simple format, which has a 128-byte header consisting of the words “SPAM” followed by the width, height, and pixel size in bits. The header fields are separated by spaces. The image data follows directly after the header, and can be either bi-level, greyscale, or 24-bit true color.

SpamImagePlugin.py:

from PIL import Image, ImageFile
import string

class SpamImageFile(ImageFile.ImageFile):

    format = "SPAM"
    format_description = "Spam raster image"

    def _open(self):

        # check header
        header = self.fp.read(128)
        if header[:4] != "SPAM":
            raise SyntaxError, "not a SPAM file"

        header = string.split(header)

        # size in pixels (width, height)
        self.size = int(header[1]), int(header[2])

        # mode setting
        bits = int(header[3])
        if bits == 1:
            self.mode = "1"
        elif bits == 8:
            self.mode = "L"
        elif bits == 24:
            self.mode = "RGB"
        else:
            raise SyntaxError, "unknown number of bits"

        # data descriptor
        self.tile = [
            ("raw", (0, 0) + self.size, 128, (self.mode, 0, 1))
        ]

Image.register_open("SPAM", SpamImageFile)

Image.register_extension("SPAM", ".spam")
Image.register_extension("SPAM", ".spa") # dos version

The format handler must always set the size and mode attributes. If these are not set, the file cannot be opened. To simplify the decoder, the calling code considers exceptions like SyntaxError, KeyError, and IndexError, as a failure to identify the file.

Note that the decoder must be explicitly registered using PIL.Image.register_open(). Although not required, it is also a good idea to register any extensions used by this format.

The tile attribute¶

To be able to read the file as well as just identifying it, the tile attribute must also be set. This attribute consists of a list of tile descriptors, where each descriptor specifies how data should be loaded to a given region in the image. In most cases, only a single descriptor is used, covering the full image.

The tile descriptor is a 4-tuple with the following contents:

(decoder, region, offset, parameters)

The fields are used as follows:

• decoder
• Specifies which decoder to use. The raw decoder used here supports uncompressed data, in a variety of pixel formats. For more information on this decoder, see the description below.
• region
• A 4-tuple specifying where to store data in the image.
• offset
• Byte offset from the beginning of the file to image data.
• parameters
• Parameters to the decoder. The contents of this field depends on the decoder specified by the first field in the tile descriptor tuple. If the decoder doesn’t need any parameters, use None for this field.

Note that the tile attribute contains a list of tile descriptors, not just a single descriptor.

The raw decoder

The raw decoder is used to read uncompressed data from an image file. It can be used with most uncompressed file formats, such as PPM, BMP, uncompressed TIFF, and many others. To use the raw decoder with the PIL.Image.fromstring() function, use the following syntax:

image = Image.fromstring(
    mode, size, data, "raw",
    raw mode, stride, orientation
    )

When used in a tile descriptor, the parameter field should look like:

(raw mode, stride, orientation)

The fields are used as follows:

• raw mode
• The pixel layout used in the file, and is used to properly convert data to PIL’s internal layout. For a summary of the available formats, see the table below.
• stride
• The distance in bytes between two consecutive lines in the image. If 0, the image is assumed to be packed (no padding between lines). If omitted, the stride defaults to 0.

orientation

Whether the first line in the image is the top line on the screen (1), or the bottom line (-1). If omitted, the orientation defaults to 1.

The raw mode field is used to determine how the data should be unpacked to match PIL’s internal pixel layout. PIL supports a large set of raw modes; for a complete list, see the table in the Unpack.c module. The following table describes some commonly used raw modes:

Note that for the most common cases, the raw mode is simply the same as the mode.

The Python Imaging Library supports many other decoders, including JPEG, PNG, and PackBits. For details, see the decode.c source file, and the standard plug-in implementations provided with the library.

Decoding floating point data¶

PIL provides some special mechanisms to allow you to load a wide variety of formats into a mode F (floating point) image memory.

You can use the raw decoder to read images where data is packed in any standard machine data type, using one of the following raw modes:

The bit decoder¶

If the raw decoder cannot handle your format, PIL also provides a special “bit” decoder that can be used to read various packed formats into a floating point image memory.

To use the bit decoder with the fromstring function, use the following syntax:

image = fromstring(
    mode, size, data, "bit",
    bits, pad, fill, sign, orientation
    )

When used in a tile descriptor, the parameter field should look like:

(bits, pad, fill, sign, orientation)

The fields are used as follows:

• bits
• Number of bits per pixel (2-32). No default.
• pad
• Padding between lines, in bits. This is either 0 if there is no padding, or 8 if lines are padded to full bytes. If omitted, the pad value defaults to 8.
• fill
• Controls how data are added to, and stored from, the decoder bit buffer.
• fill=0
• Add bytes to the LSB end of the decoder buffer; store pixels from the MSB end.
• fill=1
• Add bytes to the MSB end of the decoder buffer; store pixels from the MSB end.
• fill=2
• Add bytes to the LSB end of the decoder buffer; store pixels from the LSB end.
• fill=3

• Add bytes to the MSB end of the decoder buffer; store pixels from the LSB end.

  If omitted, the fill order defaults to 0.

• sign
• If non-zero, bit fields are sign extended. If zero or omitted, bit fields are unsigned.
• orientation
• Whether the first line in the image is the top line on the screen (1), or the bottom line (-1). If omitted, the orientation defaults to 1.
