panda3d.core.PNMImageHeader

class PNMImageHeader

This is the base class of PNMImage, PNMReader, and PNMWriter. It encapsulates all the information associated with an image that describes its size, number of channels, etc; that is, all the information about the image except the image data itself. It’s the sort of information you typically read from the image file’s header.

Inheritance diagram

__init__() → None

__init__(copy: PNMImageHeader) → None

assign(copy: PNMImageHeader) → PNMImageHeader

Return type

PNMImageHeader

getColorType() → ColorType

Returns the image type of the image, as an enumerated value. This is really just the number of channels cast to the enumerated type.

Return type

ColorType

getNumChannels() → int

Returns the number of channels in the image.

isGrayscale() → bool

Returns false if the image is a full-color image, and has red, green, and blue components; true if it is a grayscale image and has only a gray component. (The gray color is actually stored in the blue channel, and the red and green channels are ignored.)

isGrayscale(color_type: ColorType) → bool

This static variant of isGrayscale() returns true if the indicated image type represents a grayscale image, false otherwise.

hasAlpha() → bool

Returns true if the image includes an alpha channel, false otherwise. Unlike isGrayscale(), if this returns false it is an error to call any of the functions accessing the alpha channel.

hasAlpha(color_type: ColorType) → bool

This static variant of hasAlpha() returns true if the indicated image type includes an alpha channel, false otherwise.

getMaxval() → xelval

Returns the maximum channel value allowable for any pixel in this image; for instance, 255 for a typical 8-bit-per-channel image. A pixel with this value is full on.

Return type

xelval

getColorSpace() → ColorSpace

Returns the color space that the image is encoded in, or CS_unspecified if unknown.

Return type

ColorSpace

getXSize() → int

Returns the number of pixels in the X direction. This is one more than the largest allowable X coordinate.

getYSize() → int

Returns the number of pixels in the Y direction. This is one more than the largest allowable Y coordinate.

getSize() → LVecBase2i

Returns the number of pixels in each direction. This is one more than the largest allowable coordinates.

Return type

LVecBase2i

getComment() → str

Gets the user comment from the file.

setComment(comment: str) → None

Writes a user comment string to the image (header).

hasType() → bool

Returns true if the PNMImageHeader knows what type it is, false otherwise.

getType() → PNMFileType

If the file type is known (e.g. hasType() returns true), returns its PNMFileType pointer; otherwise, returns NULL.

Return type

PNMFileType

setType(type: PNMFileType) → None

Sets the file type of this PNMImage. This will be the default type used when an image is read, if the type cannot be determined by magic number or inferred by extension, or the type used when the image is written, if the type cannot be inferred from the filename extension.

readHeader(filename: Filename, type: PNMFileType, report_unknown_type: bool) → bool

Opens up the image file and tries to read its header information to determine its size, number of channels, etc. If successful, updates the header information and returns true; otherwise, returns false.

readHeader(data: istream, filename: str, type: PNMFileType, report_unknown_type: bool) → bool

Reads the image header information only from the indicated stream.

The filename is advisory only, and may be used to suggest a type if it has a known extension.

If type is non-NULL, it is a suggestion for the type of file it is (and a non-NULL type will override any magic number test or filename extension lookup).

Returns true if successful, false on error.

makeReader(filename: Filename, type: PNMFileType, report_unknown_type: bool) → PNMReader

Returns a newly-allocated PNMReader of the suitable type for reading from the indicated image filename, or NULL if the filename cannot be read for some reason. The filename “-” always stands for standard input. If type is specified, it is a suggestion for the file type to use.

The PNMReader should be deleted when it is no longer needed.

Return type

PNMReader

makeReader(file: istream, owns_file: bool, filename: Filename, magic_number: str, type: PNMFileType, report_unknown_type: bool) → PNMReader

Returns a newly-allocated PNMReader of the suitable type for reading from the already-opened image file, or NULL if the file cannot be read for some reason.

owns_file should be set true if the PNMReader is to be considered the owner of the stream pointer (in which case the stream will be deleted on completion, whether successful or not), or false if it should not delete it.

The filename parameter is optional here, since the file has already been opened; it is only used to examine the extension and attempt to guess the file type.

If magic_number is nonempty, it is assumed to represent the first few bytes that have already been read from the file. Some file types may have difficulty if this is more than two bytes.

If type is non-NULL, it is a suggestion for the file type to use.

The PNMReader should be deleted when it is no longer needed.

Return type

PNMReader

makeWriter(filename: Filename, type: PNMFileType) → PNMWriter

Returns a newly-allocated PNMWriter of the suitable type for writing an image to the indicated filename, or NULL if the filename cannot be written for some reason. The filename “-” always stands for standard output. If type is specified, it is a suggestion for the file type to use.

The PNMWriter should be deleted when it is no longer needed.

Return type

PNMWriter

makeWriter(file: ostream, owns_file: bool, filename: Filename, type: PNMFileType) → PNMWriter

Returns a newly-allocated PNMWriter of the suitable type for writing to the already-opened image file, or NULL if the file cannot be written for some reason.

owns_file should be set true if the PNMWriter is to be considered the owner of the stream pointer (in which case the stream will be deleted on completion, whether successful or not), or false if it should not delete it.

The filename parameter is optional here, since the file has already been opened; it is only used to examine the extension and attempt to guess the intended file type.

If type is non-NULL, it is a suggestion for the file type to use.

The PNMWriter should be deleted when it is no longer needed.

Return type

PNMWriter
