Python Qt6 : tool for game development with PNG images.

Today, I worked with art artificial intelligence, to create tool for my game development.

I used python and PyQt6 and this tool help me to remove border, resize, split, rename and save images as PNG file type for Godot game engine.

Python 3.12.1 : Create a simple color palette.

Today I tested a simple source code for a color palette created with PIL python package.

This is the result:

Let's see the source code:

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw

# 640x640 pixeli with 10x10 squares 64x64 
img = Image.new('RGB', (640, 640))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)

# color list
colors = []
# for 100 colors you need to set steps with 62,62,64 
# or you can change 64,62,62 some little changes 
for r in range(0, 256, 62):
    for g in range(0, 256, 62):
        for b in range(0, 256, 64):
            colors.append((r, g, b))

# show result of colors and size up 100 items 
print(colors)
print(len(colors))

# create 10x10 colors and fill the image 
for i in range(10):
    for j in range(10):
        x0 = j * 64
        y0 = i * 64
        x1 = x0 + 64
        y1 = y0 + 64
        color = colors[i*10 + j]  # Selectarea culorii din lista
        draw.rectangle([x0, y0, x1, y1], fill=color)

# save teh image
img.save('rgb_color_matrix.png')

Python 3.11.0a7 : image conversions in Python.

Image processing is very important in development, therefore also in python.

The image processing packages used in python have undergone changes over time.

Pillow and PIL cannot co-exist in the same environment. Before installing Pillow, please uninstall PIL.

Pillow higher than version 10 no longer supports import Image. Please use from PIL import Image instead.

Pillow higher than version 2.1.0 no longer supports import _imaging. Please use from PIL.Image import core as _imaging instead.

Although the image formats are old compared to the newer ones in vector format, they are preferred depending on the field of work.

You can see all of these file image formats on the official python package.

First, the basic installation start with upgrade the pip tool:

C:\PythonProjects\ConvertImages>python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already satisfied: pip in c:\python311alpha\lib\site-packages (22.1.
2)
Collecting pip
  Downloading pip-22.2-py3-none-any.whl (2.0 MB)

Secondary, the install of the Pillow python package:

C:\PythonProjects\ConvertImages>python  -m pip install --upgrade Pillow

I have a webp image here that I have scaled to smaller sizes and that I will test its conversion from webp format to png format.

The image is named waterski2 and I'm using the 3.11.0a7 python version.

Let's see the source code:

from PIL import Image

# open the image file WEBP
image = Image.open('waterski2.webp')

# show the image 
image.show()

# convert the image to RGB color
image = image.convert('RGB')

# save PNG RGB image
image.save('waterski2_RGB_PNG.png', 'png')

# save JPG RGB image
image.save('waterski2_RGB_JPG.jpg', 'jpeg')

# open the image file JPG
image_jpg = Image.open('waterski2_RGB_JPG.jpg')

# convert the image to RGB color
image_rgb_jpg = image_jpg.convert('RGB')

# save PNG RGB image from JPG
image_rgb_jpg.save('new-image_RGB_PNG_from_JPG.png', 'png')

#same process of conversion to WEBP file type
# from png image
image = Image.open('waterski2_RGB_PNG.png')
image = image.convert('RGB')
image.save('new-image_RGB_WEBP_from_png.webp', 'webp')
# from jpg image
image = Image.open('waterski2_RGB_JPG.jpg')
image = image.convert('RGB')
image.save('new-image_RGB_WEBP_from_jpg.webp', 'webp')

Here is a screenshot with these converted images and the processed image.

Hide your info with stepic python module.

I will show a funny way to put your info into one image and then show this info.
First you need one image. I used this image:

First need to use Python 2.7 with Image ( Pillow python module) and stepic python module.
... and follow the below steps:

C:\Python27>cd Scripts
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install Image
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install stepic
C:\Python27\Scripts>cd ..

C:\Python27>python
Python 2.7.8 (default, Jun 30 2014, 16:08:48) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

To encode and then to show the text from one image I used this python script:


import PIL
from PIL import Image
import stepic
im=Image.open("MonaLisa.jpg")
im1 = stepic.encode(im,'The smallest feline is a masterpiece.')
im1.save('test_encode.jpg','JPEG')
im.show()
im1.show()
decoding=stepic.decode(im1)
data_encode=decoding.decode()
print data_encode

Pillow python module with Python 3.4.1 .

This simple tutorial about PIL and Pillow python modules can show you how to install the Pillow python module.
I used pip3.4 and python 3.4.1 version.
Some problems about how to write your source code can be found : porting pil to pillow.
