Hi there, I am confused of the PIL code, I tried to write a custom non-linear filter that's the reason why I took a look.
Can someone give me a hint how this works: ImageFilter.py, class RankFilter: In the method "filter" which takes an image (which is obviously an Image()?) a method "image.rankfilter" is called. I cannot call this method on an image I e.g. loaded from a file and can't find it elsewhere in the code. $ fgrep rankfilter * returned only this file and on a *.so. Is that the key? Does "rankfilter" call a C-function which cannot be found in Python-code? The other thing I originally planned was to write an own filter. I started with: #### import Image from ImageFilter import * class BinomialFilter(Filter): name = "BinomialFilter" def __init__(self, scale=1): self.scale = 16 self.offset = 1 self.filtermatrix = [[1, 2, 1],[2, 4, 2],[1, 2, 1]] def filter(self, image): # convert to grayscale im = image.convert("L") return im im = Image.open("/tmp/pic.jpg") im.filter(BinomialFilter()).show() ### which I thought should return me a grayscale image. But it returns a coloured image. What's wrong here? Thank you for any advice, Regards, Philipp Bender _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
