But, wait ... There's more ! There are two kinds of transparency that a wx.Image or wx.Bitmap can have: 1) Every pixel is either completely transparent or completely opaque. This binary transparency is a transparency mask. 2) Each pixel can have a variable amount of transparency that is from completely transparent (alpha value=0) to completely opaque (value=255). The amount of transparency each pixel has is defined by a value from 0 to 255. This is alpha transparency. For example, a GIF file may have a transparency mask, or no transparency at all. A PNG file, however, may have a transparency mask, alpha transparency or neither. In comparison, JPG files cannot have any kind of transparency.

Reading Image Files

Creating a wx.Bitmap from an image file :

    wxBmap = wx.EmptyBitmap( 1, 1 )     # Create a bitmap container object. The size values are dummies.
    wxBmap.LoadFile( filename, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY )   # Load it with a file image.

Determine whether a bitmap has a mask or alpha transparency :

    bmapHasMask  = wxBmap.GetMask()    # "GetMask()", NOT "HasMask()" !
    bmapHasAlpha = wxBmap.HasAlpha()

Creating a wx.Image from an image file is just like that for a wx.Bitmap :

    wxImg = wx.EmptyBitmap( 1, 1 )     # Create a bitmap container
    wxImg.LoadFile( filename, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY )

To determine whether the bitmap has a mask or alpha transparency :

    imgHasMask  = wxImg.HasMask()    # "HasMask()", NOT "GetMask()" !  Egads ...
    imgHasAlpha = wxImg.HasAlpha()

Reading an image file into a PIL Image :

    import Image
    pilImage = Image.open( filename )

The PIL open() function automatically determines the file's image type. wxPython will not allow you to drop the "wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY" parameter even though it's not needed. Remember that PIL image transparency can only be the alpha kind. To check if a PIL image has transparency :

    pilImageHasAlpha = pilImg.mode[ -1 ] == 'A'

}When PIL reads in a PNG file with a mask, it automatically converts the mask into binary-valued alpha transparency whose values are either 0 for completely transparent or 255 completely opaque. This is usually not what is wanted.

Converting Binary-Valued Alpha Transparency into True (256 values) Alpha Transparency

PIL image transparency can only be the true, 256-valued alpha kind, but a wx.Bitmap and a wx.Image can have either kind. To convert a wx.Image transparency mask in to true alpha transparency :

    imgHasMask  = wxImg.HasMask()
    if wxImg.HasMask() :
        wxImg.InitAlpha()

To handle all the various image type conversions while also properly copying any transparency the following ImgConv.py module can be used. Make the calls with any flag parameters at their default values, that is, don't even include them in the call parameter list. If you start with a wx.Bitmap or a wx.Image that has either a transparency mask or alpha transparency, these routines will carry over that transparency to a PIL image with alpha. A transparency mask will always be converted into alpha transparency. PIL images can have only have alpha for transparency, never masks. So, when this package converts a PIL image with transparency, the resulting wx.Image or wx.Bitmap will have alpha transparency, not a mask.

You can use the flag parameters addAlphaLayer and delAlphaLayer to optionally : 1) Create an image with a alpha transparency when a source image had none (addAlphaLayer=True), or conversely, 2) Prevent alpha from automatically being created in the new image when the source image does has alpha (delAlphaLayer=True).

ImgConv.py Win32IconImagePlugin.py

This module contains six conversion functions. By default it automatically preserves any transparency that is present in the input image. This is usually what is wanted when displaying them in an app.

WxBitmapFromPilImage()
WxImageFromPilImage()

WxBitmapFromWxImage()
PilImageFromWxImage()

WxImageFromWxBitmap()
PilImageFromWxBitmap()

The BitmapManip.py module has utility functions for extracting and combining masks useful for advanced image manipulation. Wx.Frames can be created that are free-form non-rectangular with semi-transparent background images overlaid with completely opaque and dynamically changing text.

BitmapManip.py

Conversions Between wx.Image, wx.Bitmap, wx.Cursor, wx.Icon and String Data

wx.Image to wx.Bitmap :

    myWxBmap = myWxImg.ConvertToBitmap()

or :

    myWxBmap = wxBitmapFromImage( myWxImg )

wxImage to String Data :

    myStrData = myWxImg.GetData()

This returns a binary data Python string of of length (width * height * 3).

Convert String Data to a wx.Image :

wxImg = wx.Image()
wxImg.SetData( myStrData )

Python string of binary data to a wx.Bitmap : Go through wx.Image to get a wx.Bitmap.

DATA to a wx.Icon : Should be possible, but I don't see an overloaded-constructor name for it.

wx.Icon to wxBitmap :

myWxBitmap = wx.EmptyBitmap( myIcon.GetWidth(), myIcon.GetHeight() )
myWxBitmap.CopyFromIcon( myIcon )

wxBitmap to string data :

Python string of binary data or wx.Image to wxCursor :

wx.Icon to Python string of binary data or wx.Image :

wxCursor to Python string of binary data or wxImage :

Again, to allow for editing cursors. Would also need methods to get the current hot spot. wxImage to wxIcon -- See DATA to wxIcon above, either one would be fine, but would be nice to have the complete set.

Notes: If a GIF file with a mask is read, PIL will automatically convert the mask to binary-valued alpha transparency. This is usually suitable for display purposes. Neither wx nor PIL can properly write a .ICO file with mask transparency. This is probably fine since it's better to write all non-photographic image files in .PNG format.

NumPy

   1 import wx, numpy
   2 
   3 def GetBitmap( self, width=32, height=32, colour = (0,0,0) ):
   4         array = numpy.zeros( (height, width, 3),'uint8')
   5         array[:,:,] = colour
   6         image = wx.EmptyImage(width,height)
   7         image.SetData( array.tostring())
   8         wxBitmap = image.ConvertToBitmap()       # OR:  wx.BitmapFromImage(image)
   9         return wxBitmap

Slicing

NumPy's slicing notation, for our purposes, works as follows:  [ rowStart: rowEnd, columnStart: columnEnd, colourPlanes ]  To assign a single colour to the entire image:  array[:,:] = (r,g,b)  To assign a value to the entire red bit plane:  array[:,:,0] = 255  To assign a colour to the first row:  array[ 0 ] = (r,g,b ) 

Examples

This example shows use of NumPy's (extended) slicing notation to alter an in-memory image. Note that the slice notation allows for standard negative-value index semantics. Also note the accommodating nature of the assignment operation. Assigning a three-tuple to a row sets every value in the row, while assigning a list of three-tuples will set each value individually (and raise an error if the number of items is incorrect).

   1 import wx, numpy
   2 
   3 def GetBitmap( self, width=32, height=32, colour=(128, 128, 128), border=5, borderColour=(255, 255, 255) ):
   4     """
   5     Creates a bitmap with a border.
   6     """
   7     array = numpy.zeros( (height, width, 3), 'uint8' )
   8     array[ border:-border, border:-border, : ] = colour
   9     array[ :border, :, : ] = borderColour
  10     array[ -border:, :, : ] = borderColour
  11     array[ :, :border, :] = borderColour
  12     array[ :, -border:, : ] = borderColour
  13     image = wx.EmptyImage( width, height )
  14     image.SetData( array.tostring() )
  15     return image.ConvertToBitmap()    # OR:  wx.BitmapFromImage( image )

This example creates a horizontal gradient between two colours. Note that NumPy is automatically converting from float to uint8 data type in the assignment to array, because of the slice indexing. Without the indexing, array would just get overwritten to point to a different numpy array instead of assigning data within the existing one.

   1 import numpy as np
   2 
   3 def GetBitmap( self, width=640, height=480, leftColour=(255,128,0), rightColour=(64,0,255) ):
   4         """
   5         Create a horizontal gradient
   6         """
   7         array = np.zeros( (height, width, 3), 'uint8' )
   8 
   9         # alpha is a one dimensional array with a linear gradient from 0.0 to 1.0
  10         alpha = np.linspace( 0., 1., width )
  11 
  12         # This uses alpha to linearly interpolate between leftColour and rightColour
  13         colourGradient = np.outer(alpha, leftColour) + np.outer( (1.-alpha), rightColour )
  14 
  15         # NumPy's broadcasting rules will assign colourGradient to every row of the destination array
  16         array[ :, :, : ] = colourGradient
  17         image = wx.EmptyImage( width, height )
  18         image.SetData( array.tostring() )
  19         wxBitmap = wx.BitmapFromImage( image )    # OR:  image.ConvertToBitmap()
  20         return wxBitmap

Screen Capture

This example captures the client area of a frame to a wxBitmap object (and from there, a file). Note that there is no error checking done here. Should likely use Ok() or something to check each context. I'm not sure what would happen if this were called before the first painting of the screen, likely the context would have the desktop or something in it. Note: code below only captures the client area of the window. Tagore notes that you can get the whole window with a wx.WindowDC and arbitrary parts of the screen with a wx.ScreenDC.

   1 def OnSaveToFile( self, event ):
   2         context = wx.ClientDC( self )
   3         memory = wx.MemoryDC( )
   4         x, y = self.ClientSize
   5         bitmap = wx.EmptyBitmap( x, y, -1 )
   6         memory.SelectObject( bitmap )
   7         memory.Blit( 0, 0, x, y, context, 0, 0)
   8         memory.SelectObject( wx.NullBitmap)
   9         bitmap.SaveFile( 'test.bmp', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_BMP )

In the application all five captured wxBitmap objects are saved to PNG files.

The wx.ScreenDC treats the entire Desktop screen as a single seamless conglomerate of all exiting wx.Display() areas. Negative coordinate values relative to the main Desktop screen are allowed. Negative ordinate values must be used to capture any portion of an extension monitor screen to the left of or above the primary monitor screen (the one with the Taskbar). For example, I have two monitors where the extension monitor is configured to be directly above the main monitor. I have set both monitors to 1280x800 resolution. To capture the just the whole extended screen :

   1     screenWid = wx.SystemSettings.GetMetric( wx.SYS_SCREEN_X )
   2     screenHgt = wx.SystemSettings.GetMetric( wx.SYS_SCREEN_Y )
   3     captureSize = (screenWid, screenHgt*2)  # Both screens are set to be the same size.
   4     wxBitmap = ScreenCapture( startPos, captureSize )

Other wxPython add-on packages can take arbitrarily sized screen shots, too, such as ImageMagick and PIL. Python Imaging Library:

Write Text to a Bitmap

Writing text into a bitmap is done by creating a context then using the context's DrawText method to do the actual drawing. A simple example:

Since transparency is a bit tricky, here is another example. (Which unlike the above, works for me).

In this example two bitmaps are created. One is completely white (oldPix) the other one completely black (newPix). Then a red box is drawn on the black bitmap. Now the black color in newPix is masked and then newPix is copied over oldPix (the white one). The result is, that only the red box is copied.

   1 import wx
   2 
   3 class Test(wx.App):
   4     def OnInit(self):
   5         oldPix  = wx.EmptyBitmap(300, 300)
   6         newPix  = wx.EmptyBitmap(300, 300)
   7         mem = wx.MemoryDC()
   8         mem.SelectObject(oldPix)
   9         mem.Clear()                       # The images have to be cleared
  10         mem.SelectObject(newPix)          # because wxEmptyBitmap only
  11         mem.SetBackground(wx.BLACK_BRUSH)  # allocates the space
  12         mem.Clear()
  13 
  14         # We now have a black and a white image
  15         # Next we plot a white box in the middle of the black image
  16 
  17         mem.SetPen(wx.RED_PEN)
  18         mem.DrawLines(((100, 200), (100, 100), (200, 100), (200,200), (100,200)))
  19 
  20         mem.SelectObject(oldPix)
  21         newPix.SetMask(wxMaskColour(newPix, wx.BLACK))
  22         mem.DrawBitmap(newPix, 0, 0, 1)
  23 
  24         oldPix.SaveFile("oldPix.bmp", wx.BITMAP_TYPE_BMP)
  25         newPix.SaveFile("newPix.bmp", wx.BITMAP_TYPE_BMP)
  26         return True
  27 
  28 app = Test(redirect=False)
  29 app.MainLoop()

This is a complete wxPython app, so just run it and have a look at the created Bitmaps oldPix.bmp and newPix.bmp for the results. -- Nikolai Hlubek

PythonMagick (a 16-bit Imaging Library)

Here is a short but complete PythonMagick/wxPython program. The program uses wxPython GUI, loads an image, displays the image, and does a simple image processing operation (threshold). Various conversions between PythonMagick, PIL, and wxPython images are available on the PythonMagick web site.

See the PythonMagick page for a greater description of PythonMagick.

Note that PythonMagick presently only has a Windows installer.

Thanks

Another word of thanks. I used the pil --> image with alpha tricks learned from this page. \d
