transform(*args, **kwargs)

Transforms the image using MagickTransformImage(), which is a convenience function accepting geometry strings to perform cropping and resizing. Cropping is performed first, followed by resizing. Either or both arguments may be omitted or given an empty string, in which case the corresponding action will not be performed. Geometry specification strings are defined as follows:

A geometry string consists of a size followed by an optional offset. The size is specified by one of the options below, where bold terms are replaced with appropriate integer values:

scale%
Height and width both scaled by specified percentage
scale-x%xscale-y%
Height and width individually scaled by specified percentages. Only one % symbol is needed.
width
Width given, height automagically selected to preserve aspect ratio.
xheight
Height given, width automagically selected to preserve aspect ratio.
widthxheight
Maximum values of width and height given; aspect ratio preserved.
widthxheight!
Width and height emphatically given; original aspect ratio ignored.
widthxheight>
Shrinks images with dimension(s) larger than the corresponding width and/or height dimension(s).
widthxheight<
Enlarges images with dimensions smaller than the corresponding width and/or height dimension(s).
area@
Resize image to have the specified area in pixels. Aspect ratio is preserved.

The offset, which only applies to the cropping geometry string, is given by {+-}x{+-}y, that is, one plus or minus sign followed by an x offset, followed by another plus or minus sign, followed by a y offset. Offsets are in pixels from the upper left corner of the image. Negative offsets will cause the corresponding number of pixels to be removed from the right or bottom edge of the image, meaning the cropped size will be the computed size minus the absolute value of the offset.

For example, if you want to crop your image to 300x300 pixels and then scale it by 2x for a final size of 600x600 pixels, you can call:

image.transform('300x300', '200%')

This method is a fairly thing wrapper for the C API, and does not perform any additional checking of the parameters except insofar as verifying that they are of the correct type. Thus, like the C API function, the method is very permissive in terms of what it accepts for geometry strings; unrecognized strings and trailing characters will be ignored rather than raising an error.

Parameters:
  • crop (basestring) – A geometry string defining a subregion of the image to crop to
  • resize (basestring) – A geometry string defining the final size of the image

ImageMagick Geometry Specifications
Cropping and resizing geometry for the transform method are specified according to ImageMagick’s geometry string format. The ImageMagick documentation provides more information about geometry strings.

New in version 0.2.2.

transparent_color(*args, **kwargs)

Makes the color color a transparent color with a tolerance of fuzz. The alpha parameter specify the transparency level and the parameter fuzz specify the tolerance.

Parameters:
  • color (wand.color.Color) – The color that should be made transparent on the image, color object
  • alpha (numbers.Real) – the level of transparency: 1.0 is fully opaque and 0.0 is fully transparent.
  • fuzz (numbers.Integral) – By default target must match a particular pixel color exactly. However, in many cases two colors may differ by a small amount. The fuzz member of image defines how much tolerance is acceptable to consider two colors as the same. For example, set fuzz to 10 and the color red at intensities of 100 and 102 respectively are now interpreted as the same color for the color.
  • invert (bool) – Boolean to tell to paint the inverse selection.

New in version 0.3.0.

Normalize color channels.

Parameters:channel (basestring) – the channel type. available values can be found in the CHANNELS mapping. If None, normalize all channels.
read(file=None, filename=None, blob=None, resolution=None)

Read new image into Image() object.

Parameters:
  • blob (str) – reads an image from the blob byte array
  • file (file object) – reads an image from the file object
  • filename (basestring) – reads an image from the filename string
  • resolution (collections.Sequence, numbers.Integral) – set a resolution value (DPI), usefull for vectorial formats (like PDF)

New in version 0.3.0.

save(file=None, filename=None)

Saves the image into the file or filename. It takes only one argument at a time.

Parameters:
  • file (file object) – a file object to write to
  • filename (basename) – a filename string to write to

New in version 0.1.5: The file parameter.

New in version 0.1.1.

strip()

Strips an image of all profiles and comments.

New in version 0.2.0.

trim(color=None, fuzz=0)

Remove solid border from image. Uses top left pixel as a guide by default, or you can also specify the color to remove.

Parameters:
  • color (Color) – the border color to remove. if it’s omitted top left pixel is used by default
  • fuzz (numbers.Integral) – Defines how much tolerance is acceptable to consider two colors as the same.

New in version 0.3.0: Optional color and fuzz parameters.

New in version 0.2.1.

class wand.image.ImageProperty(image)

The mixin class to maintain a weak reference to the parent Image object.

New in version 0.3.0.

image

(Image) The parent image.

It ensures that the parent Image, which is held in a weak reference, still exists. Returns the dereferenced Image if it does exist, or raises a ClosedImageError otherwise.

Exc :ClosedImageError when the parent Image has been destroyed
class wand.image.Iterator(image=None, iterator=None)

Row iterator for Image. It shouldn’t be instantiated directly; instead, it can be acquired through Image instance:

assert isinstance(image, wand.image.Image)
iterator = iter(image)

It doesn’t iterate every pixel, but rows. For example:

for row in image:
    for col in row:
        assert isinstance(col, wand.color.Color)
        print(col)

Every row is a collections.Sequence which consists of one or more wand.color.Color values.

Parameters:image (Image) – the image to get an iterator

New in version 0.1.3.

clone()

Clones the same iterator.

class wand.image.Metadata(image)

Class that implements dict-like read-only access to image metadata like EXIF or IPTC headers.

Parameters:image (Image) – an image instance

Note

You don’t have to use this by yourself. Use Image.metadata property instead.

New in version 0.3.0.

class wand.image.OptionDict(image)

Mutable mapping of the image internal options. See available options in OPTIONS constant.

New in version 0.3.0.

wand.image.manipulative(function)

Mark the operation manipulating itself instead of returning new one.
