The «Pystacia» raster image manipulation library¶
Pystacia is a new image manipulation library written to meet practical needs of developers. It’s simple, it’s cross-platform, runs on Python 2.5+, 3.x, PyPy and IronPython. It’s compact but still appropriate for most of your day to day image handling tasks. Pystacia leverages powerful ImageMagick library as a back-end exposing easily comprehensible pythonic API.
Here is one of the simplest code snippets showing what you can do with it:
from pystacia.image import read
image = read('example.png')
image.rescale(320, 240)
image.rotate(30)
image.show()
image.write('output.jpeg')
# free acquired resources
image.close()
When saved to simple.py, the above script can be run via:
$ pip install pystacia
$ python simple.py
Provided you have file example.png in the same directory it would output version of the file which would be scaled to 320╳240 pixels and rotated by 30 degrees. It would also display it in your default system image viewing program.
