hi,
I found it difficult to discover how to set the dpi for png images with pil, so
I'd like to suggest an addition to the documentation:
-------------------------------------------------------------
You can read the metadata in a png file as follows:
im = Image.open('myfile.png')
print im.info
##or just one value, for example:
#print im.info['dpi']
You cannot change the values in the info dictionary directly, but you can set
the values by using options on the save method:
im1.save('mynewfile.png','PNG',dpi=(300,300))
You can see the results by opening and reading the info dictionary again:
im2.open('mynewfile.png')
print im2.info['dpi']
---------------------------------------------------------
I'm no expert and there may be a better way to accomplish this, but it got me
what I needed.
I think it's a fairly common situation.
thanks,
--Tim Arnold
