      2 :mod:`imageop` --- Manipulate raw image data
      3 ============================================
      4 
      5 .. module:: imageop
      6    :synopsis: Manipulate raw image data.
      7    :deprecated:
      8 
      9 .. deprecated:: 2.6
     10     The :mod:`imageop` module has been removed in Python 3.
     11 
     12 The :mod:`imageop` module contains some useful operations on images. It operates
     13 on images consisting of 8 or 32 bit pixels stored in Python strings.  This is
     14 the same format as used by :func:`gl.lrectwrite` and the :mod:`imgfile` module.
     15 
     16 The module defines the following variables and functions:
     17 
     18 
     19 .. exception:: error
     20 
     21    This exception is raised on all errors, such as unknown number of bits per
     22    pixel, etc.
     23 
     24 
     25 .. function:: crop(image, psize, width, height, x0, y0, x1, y1)
     26 
     27    Return the selected part of *image*, which should be *width* by *height* in size
     28    and consist of pixels of *psize* bytes. *x0*, *y0*, *x1* and *y1* are like the
     29    :func:`gl.lrectread` parameters, i.e. the boundary is included in the new image.
     30    The new boundaries need not be inside the picture.  Pixels that fall outside the
     31    old image will have their value set to zero.  If *x0* is bigger than *x1* the
     32    new image is mirrored.  The same holds for the y coordinates.
     33 
     34 
     35 .. function:: scale(image, psize, width, height, newwidth, newheight)
     36 
     37    Return *image* scaled to size *newwidth* by *newheight*. No interpolation is
     38    done, scaling is done by simple-minded pixel duplication or removal.  Therefore,
     39    computer-generated images or dithered images will not look nice after scaling.
     40 
     41 
     42 .. function:: tovideo(image, psize, width, height)
     43 
     44    Run a vertical low-pass filter over an image.  It does so by computing each
     45    destination pixel as the average of two vertically-aligned source pixels.  The
     46    main use of this routine is to forestall excessive flicker if the image is
     47    displayed on a video device that uses interlacing, hence the name.
     48 
     49 
     50 .. function:: grey2mono(image, width, height, threshold)
     51 
     52    Convert an 8-bit deep greyscale image to a 1-bit deep image by thresholding all
     53    the pixels.  The resulting image is tightly packed and is probably only useful
     54    as an argument to :func:`mono2grey`.
     55 
     56 
     57 .. function:: dither2mono(image, width, height)
     58 
     59    Convert an 8-bit greyscale image to a 1-bit monochrome image using a
     60    (simple-minded) dithering algorithm.
     61 
     62 
     63 .. function:: mono2grey(image, width, height, p0, p1)
     64 
     65    Convert a 1-bit monochrome image to an 8 bit greyscale or color image. All
     66    pixels that are zero-valued on input get value *p0* on output and all one-value
     67    input pixels get value *p1* on output.  To convert a monochrome black-and-white
     68    image to greyscale pass the values ``0`` and ``255`` respectively.
     69 
     70 
     71 .. function:: grey2grey4(image, width, height)
     72 
     73    Convert an 8-bit greyscale image to a 4-bit greyscale image without dithering.
     74 
     75 
     76 .. function:: grey2grey2(image, width, height)
     77 
     78    Convert an 8-bit greyscale image to a 2-bit greyscale image without dithering.
     79 
     80 
     81 .. function:: dither2grey2(image, width, height)
     82 
     83    Convert an 8-bit greyscale image to a 2-bit greyscale image with dithering.  As
     84    for :func:`dither2mono`, the dithering algorithm is currently very simple.
     85 
     86 
     87 .. function:: grey42grey(image, width, height)
     88 
     89    Convert a 4-bit greyscale image to an 8-bit greyscale image.
     90 
     91 
     92 .. function:: grey22grey(image, width, height)
     93 
     94    Convert a 2-bit greyscale image to an 8-bit greyscale image.
     95 
     96 
     97 .. data:: backward_compatible
     98 
     99    If set to 0, the functions in this module use a non-backward compatible way
    100    of representing multi-byte pixels on little-endian systems.  The SGI for
    101    which this module was originally written is a big-endian system, so setting
    102    this variable will have no effect. However, the code wasn't originally
    103    intended to run on anything else, so it made assumptions about byte order
    104    which are not universal.  Setting this variable to 0 will cause the byte
    105    order to be reversed on little-endian systems, so that it then is the same as
    106    on big-endian systems.
