Version 1.0¶

Changes:¶

async support for open_online()¶

I planned to add this feature before but never got around to doing it.

Now it is here! Async support for the module, currently this only affects the open_online() function as it adds the new async_open_online() method.

With this method you can now download and load images into PIL but using aiohttp with async support instead of requests without it.

import PILTools

image = await PILTools.async_open_online(url="http://example.com/image.png", mode="RGB")
# Note: http://example.com/image.png isn't actually an image it is just there for example purposes

For more info about how to use this function please refer to the library reference.

Moved online image open functions¶

Moved the open_online() and async_open_online() to the base of the module to make things cleaner and easier to access.

import PILTools

# Old (before ver 1.0)
image = PILTools.ImageTools.open_online(url="http://example.com/image.png", mode="RGB")

# New (ver 1.0 and after)
image = PILTools.open_online(url="http://example.com/image.png", mode="RGB")

# Note: http://example.com/image.png isn't actually an image it is just there for example purposes

Added custom errors¶

Added better error messages to some functions.

Fixed transparency issues¶

Noticed some of the functions in the ImageTools Draw() class were not fully supporting transparency so I fixed them up.

Now fixed functions:

Additions:¶

async support for opening online images¶

New function async_open_online() added using aiohttp to asynchronously download images into PIL.

Chroma key functions¶

Added 3 new functions to the ImageTools Draw() class:

With these functions you are able to filter out one of either red, green or blue from an image similar to a chroma key effect.

You can customise the thresholds used in the filter to get better results, please refer to the function’s docs for more info.
