# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # imageio is distributed under the terms of the (new) BSD License. """ These functions represent imageio's main interface for the user. They provide a common API to read and write image data for a large variety of formats. All read and write functions accept keyword arguments, which are passed on to the format that does the actual work. To see what keyword arguments are supported by a specific format, use the :func:`.help` function. Functions for reading: * :func:`.imread` - read an image from the specified uri * :func:`.mimread` - read a series of images from the specified uri * :func:`.volread` - read a volume from the specified uri * :func:`.mvolread` - read a series of volumes from the specified uri Functions for saving: * :func:`.imwrite` - write an image to the specified uri * :func:`.mimwrite` - write a series of images to the specified uri * :func:`.volwrite` - write a volume to the specified uri * :func:`.mvolwrite` - write a series of volumes to the specified uri More control: For a larger degree of control, imageio provides functions :func:`.get_reader` and :func:`.get_writer`. They respectively return an :class:`.Reader` and an :class:`.Writer` object, which can be used to read/write data and meta data in a more controlled manner. This also allows specific scientific formats to be exposed in a way that best suits that file-format. ---- All read-functions return images as numpy arrays, and have a ``meta`` attribute; the meta-data dictionary can be accessed with ``im.meta``. To make this work, imageio actually makes use of a subclass of ``np.ndarray``. If needed, the image can be converted to a plain numpy array using ``np.asarray(im)``. ---- Supported resource URI's: All functions described here accept a URI to describe the resource to read from or write to. These can be a wide range of things. (Imageio takes care of handling the URI so that plugins can access the data in an easy way.) For reading and writing: * a normal filename, e.g. ``'c:\\foo\\bar.png'`` * a file in a zipfile, e.g. ``'c:\\foo\\bar.zip\\eggs.png'`` * a file object with a ``read()`` / ``write()`` method. For reading: * an http/ftp address, e.g. ``'http://example.com/foo.png'`` * the raw bytes of an image file * ``get_reader("")`` to grab images from a (web) camera. * ``imread("")`` to grab a screenshot (on Windows or OS X). * ``imread("")`` to grab an image from the clipboard (on Windows). For writing one can also use ``''`` or ``imageio.RETURN_BYTES`` to make a write function return the bytes instead of writing to a file. Note that reading from HTTP and zipfiles works for many formats including png and jpeg, but may not work for all formats (some plugins "seek" the file object, which HTTP/zip streams do not support). In such a case one can download/extract the file first. For HTTP one can use something like ``imageio.imread(imageio.core.urlopen(url).read(), '.gif')``.
