Apologies in advance if this is a simple fix (I am relatively new to programming). I am creating a python game (with pygame) that will include a lot of images. I am currently using the following code to import and scale the pictures according to the screen resolution:
pygame.init()
WINDOW= pygame.display.Info() # size of window's width in pixels
WINDOWW = WINDOW.current_w
WINDOWH = WINDOW.current_h
size = 1920/WINDOWW
CreditsL = pygame.image.load ('TEXT\Credits.png')
Creditsrect= CreditsL.get_rect()
Credits = pygame.transform.scale(CreditsL, (int(Creditsrect.w/size), int(Creditsrect.h/size)))
Since I have to import tons of images I would like to know how I can make a function that will import and scale the pictures, instead of me having to copy and paste.
Thanks in advance
def resize(imgpath):
img = pygame.image.load(imgpath)
rect = img.get_rect()
return pygame.transform.scale(img, (int(rect.w/size), int(rect.h/size)))
Credits = resize('TEXT\Credits.png')
If you want to avoid having to copy-paste this last line for each and every image, use a list of [(name, path),] tuples and build a dict from it:
SOURCES = [
("credit", 'TEXT\Credits.png'),
("something", 'TEXT\whatever.png'),
# etc
]
IMAGES = dict((name, resize(path)) for name, path in SOURCES)
Then to use the resized "credit" image :
do_something_with(IMAGES["credit"])
It is pretty easy to wrap your current code lines into a function and call it:
def importer(path):
CreditsL = pygame.image.load(path)
Creditsrect = CreditsL.get_rect()
return pygame.transform.scale(CreditsL,
(int(Creditsrect.w/size),
int(Creditsrect.h/size)))
Credits = importer('TEXT\Credits.png')
Scaling the image through pygame, from my understandings, is not the way to go. Use a simple photo editor (Paint if you gotta!) to scale your image accordingly. It is more work for the computer to do. The more work your computer does, the less efficient the game! Memory might not be an issue now, but it would probably be wise to make good practice, as well as make your code easier to look at.

I am trying to play my own animation in the ursina engine but I have no idea how to. According to the documentation, I would need this code:
from ursina import *
app = Ursina()
window.color = color._20
animation = Animation('ursina_wink', fps=2, scale=1, filtering=None, autoplay=True)
EditorCamera()
app.run()
And that one does indeed work. However, I do not understand how I can replace the default animation with my own frames ('ursina_wink' is inbuilt).
The documentation says there is a frame parameter, so here is what I tried so far:
from ursina import *
app = Ursina()
window.color = color._20
coin1 = load_texture('animation/coin1')
coin2 = load_texture('animation/coin2')
coin3 = load_texture('animation/coin3')
coin4 = load_texture('animation/coin4')
coin5 = load_texture('animation/coin5')
coin6 = load_texture('animation/coin6')
animation = Animation('test',fps=2, scale=1, filtering=None, autoplay=True, frames = (coin1, coin2,coin3,coin4,coin5,coin6))
EditorCamera()
app.run()
But I cannot see anything on the screen and I cannot find an example online for it. Would really appreciate some help.
It loads an image sequence as a frame animation. You can load it like this:
Animation('coin') and it will take all the frames starting with 'coin' and load them alphabetically.
I will clarify this in the documentation.
I have come across your error and I have a simple solution, try to convert the images into a gif because in the ursina documentation it says that you can also use a gif wich is way more simple but less customizable, here's the text:
Loads an image sequence as a frame animation.
Consider using SpriteSheetAnimation instead if possible.
So if you have some frames named image_000.png, image_001.png, image_002.png and so on,
you can load it like this: Animation('image')
You can also load a .gif by including the file type: Animation('image.gif')
So, I hope this helped you.
So I have been having problems trying to write the function to change the size of an image if to big and saving it as a thumbnail. I have how to retrieve the image just lost after that. I know about pillow but cant use for the class any help would be appreciated.
Update: So far I have gotten the code to resize the image and make it a thumbnail. The next part that I am on is having it save if resized to thumbnail2, but if it stays the same save as thumbnail1. Here is my code so far without the next step.
import urllib
url ="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/PNG_transparency_demonstra ion_1.png"
src = "C:\Users\laramie\Pictures\PNG_transparency_demonstration_1.png"
connect = urllib.urlretrieve(url, src)
def scalePicture(src):
newWidth = getWidth(src)/2
newHeight = getHeight(src)/2
canvas = makeEmptyPicture(newWidth, newHeight)
for x in range(newWidth):
for y in range(newHeight):
setColor(getPixel(canvas, x,y), getColor(getPixel(src, x*2, y*2)))
return canvas
def thumbNail():
srcPic = makePicture(src)
destWidth = getWidth(srcPic) / 2
destHeight = getHeight(srcPic) / 2
destPic = makeEmptyPicture(destWidth, destHeight)
destPic = scalePicture(srcPic)
show(srcPic)
show(destPic)
thumbNail()
There are a bunch of strange things going on in your code:
destPic = makeEmptyPicture(destWidth, destHeight)
destPic = scalePicture(srcPic)
the first line here is not required, because the destPic is overwritten immediately.
for x in range(newWidth):
for y in range(newHeight):
setColor(getPixel(canvas, x,y), getColor(getPixel(src, x*2, y*2)))
Ths is a very inefficient way to scale an image, that gives inferior results, unless the scale factor is an integer, and even then there are faster and better approaches.
I would recommend you to import PIL (Python Image Library) and use it to work with images. Things like loadng, saving, scaling or flipping images are easily done. However, you may need to install this library if it did not come with your python installation.
I would like to make simple graphs for my web page in python/django, but I do not know, which library (and how) to use.
I DO NOT WANT CHARTS, I SEEK A WAY TO CREATE IMAGE FROM PRIMITIVES LIKE RECTANGLES.
Each such graph is probabely generated and used only one time, as next time the values would differ.
I can simply compute the positions of all rectangles, lines or texts in it, so I would like something lightweight to just create pictre from that, which I would return as img/png (or so) mime style
like <img src="http://my.web.www/my/page/graph" > where the parameters to show would be decidied by session and database.
I can compute all the sizes beforehand, so I would like something simple like
img=Image(PNG,598,89) # style, x, y
img.add_text('1.3.', 10,10)
img.add_rectagle(20,10, 70,20, CYAN, BLACK)
....
return img.render()
Can you direct me, how to do it?
Thanks beforehand
navit nailed it :)
# from django.utils.httpwrappers import HttpResponse
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
import os,sys
im = Image.new('RGB',(598,89),'white')
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
draw.rectangle((0,0,im.size[0]-1,im.size[1]-1), outline='blue')
draw.rectangle((25,10,590,20), fill='white', outline='black')
draw.rectangle((25,10,70,20), fill='rgb(255,0,0)', outline='black')
draw.rectangle((70,10,90,20), fill='green', outline='black')
draw.text((1,10),'1.3.',fill='black')
del draw
# write to stdout
im.save(sys.stdout, "PNG")
# draw.flush()
# response = HttpResponse(mimetype="image/png")
# image.save(response, "PNG")
# return response
You should check Pillow out. Here is a sample how it works:
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
im = Image.open("lena.pgm")
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
draw.line((0, 0) + im.size, fill=128)
draw.line((0, im.size[1], im.size[0], 0), fill=128)
del draw
# write to stdout
im.save(sys.stdout, "PNG")
Serving a file from Pillow to your client should be straightforward. Let me know if you have a question.
edit: found these examples to get you started.
http://matplotlib.org/ permits to generate plenty of great graphs. You should be able to save it as an image and integrate it to your webpage
What about plotly? Never used in a project, but by reading the examples it seems very powerful and easy to use. It has a static image export (as most graphic libraries probably have).
I am new to Python and have been working with the turtle module as a way of learning the language.
Thanks to stackoverflow, I researched and learned how to copy the image into an encapsulated postscript file and it works great. There is one problem, however. The turtle module allows background color which shows on the screen but does not show in the .eps file. All other colors, i.e. pen color and turtle color, make it through but not the background color.
As a matter of interest, I do not believe the import of Tkinter is necessary since I do not believe I am using any of the Tkinter module here. I included it as a part of trying to diagnose the problem. I had also used bgcolor=Orange rather than the s.bgcolor="orange".
No Joy.
I am including a simple code example:
# Python 2.7.3 on a Mac
import turtle
from Tkinter import *
s=turtle.Screen()
s.bgcolor("orange")
bob = turtle.Turtle()
bob.circle(250)
ts=bob.getscreen()
ts.getcanvas().postscript(file = "turtle.eps")
I tried to post the images of the screen and the .eps file but stackoverflow will not allow me to do so as a new user. Some sort of spam prevention. Simple enough to visualize though, screen has background color of orange and the eps file is white.
I would appreciate any ideas.
Postscript was designed for making marks on some medium like paper or film, not raster graphics. As such it doesn't have a background color per se that can be set to given color because that would normally be the color of the paper or unexposed film being used.
In order to simulate this you need to draw a rectangle the size of the canvas and fill it with the color you want as the background. I didn't see anything in the turtle module to query the canvas object returned by getcanvas() and the only alternative I can think of is to read the turtle.cfg file if there is one, or just hardcode the default 300x400 size. You might be able to look at the source and figure out where the dimensions of the current canvas are stored and access them directly.
Update:
I was just playing around in the Python console with the turtle module and discovered that what the canvas getcanvas() returns has a private attribute called _canvas which is a <Tkinter.Canvas instance>. This object has winfo_width() and winfo_height() methods which seem to contain the dimensions of the current turtle graphics window. So I would try drawing a filled rectangle of that size and see if that gives you what you want.
Update 2:
Here's code showing how to do what I suggested. Note: The background must be drawn before any other graphics are because otherwise the solid filled background rectangle created will cover up everything else on the screen.
Also, the added draw_background() function makes an effort to save and later restore the graphics state to what it was. This may not be necessary depending on your exact usage case.
import turtle
def draw_background(a_turtle):
""" Draw a background rectangle. """
ts = a_turtle.getscreen()
canvas = ts.getcanvas()
height = ts.getcanvas()._canvas.winfo_height()
width = ts.getcanvas()._canvas.winfo_width()
turtleheading = a_turtle.heading()
turtlespeed = a_turtle.speed()
penposn = a_turtle.position()
penstate = a_turtle.pen()
a_turtle.penup()
a_turtle.speed(0) # fastest
a_turtle.goto(-width/2-2, -height/2+3)
a_turtle.fillcolor(turtle.Screen().bgcolor())
a_turtle.begin_fill()
a_turtle.setheading(0)
a_turtle.forward(width)
a_turtle.setheading(90)
a_turtle.forward(height)
a_turtle.setheading(180)
a_turtle.forward(width)
a_turtle.setheading(270)
a_turtle.forward(height)
a_turtle.end_fill()
a_turtle.penup()
a_turtle.setposition(*penposn)
a_turtle.pen(penstate)
a_turtle.setheading(turtleheading)
a_turtle.speed(turtlespeed)
s = turtle.Screen()
s.bgcolor("orange")
bob = turtle.Turtle()
draw_background(bob)
ts = bob.getscreen()
canvas = ts.getcanvas()
bob.circle(250)
canvas.postscript(file="turtle.eps")
s.exitonclick() # optional
And here's the actual output produced (rendered onscreen via Photoshop):
I haven't found a way to get the canvas background colour on the generated (Encapsulated) PostScript file (I suspect it isn't possible). You can however fill your circle with a colour, and then use Canvas.postscript(colormode='color') as suggested by #mgilson:
import turtle
bob = turtle.Turtle()
bob.fillcolor('orange')
bob.begin_fill()
bob.circle(250)
bob.begin_fill()
ts = bob.getscreen()
ts.getcanvas().postscript(file='turtle.eps', colormode='color')
Improving #martineau's code after a decade
import turtle as t
Screen=t.Screen()
Canvas=Screen.getcanvas()
Width, Height = Canvas.winfo_width(), Canvas.winfo_height()
HalfWidth, HalfHeight = Width//2, Height//2
Background = t.Turtle()
Background.ht()
Background.speed(0)
def BackgroundColour(Colour:str="white"):
Background.clear() # Prevents accumulation of layers
Background.penup()
Background.goto(-HalfWidth,-HalfHeight)
Background.color(Colour)
Background.begin_fill()
Background.goto(HalfWidth,-HalfHeight)
Background.goto(HalfWidth,HalfHeight)
Background.goto(-HalfWidth,HalfHeight)
Background.goto(-HalfWidth,-HalfHeight)
Background.end_fill()
Background.penup()
Background.home()
BackgroundColour("orange")
Bob=t.Turtle()
Bob.circle(250)
Canvas.postscript(file="turtle.eps")
This depends on what a person is trying to accomplish but generally, having the option to select which turtle to use to draw your background to me is unnecessary and can overcomplicate things so what one can do instead is have one specific turtle (which I named Background) to just update the background when desired.
Plus, rather than directing the turtle object via magnitude and direction with setheading() and forward(), its cleaner (and maybe faster) to simply give the direct coordinates of where the turtle should go.
Also for any newcomers: Keeping all of the constants like Canvas, Width, and Height outside the BackgroundColour() function speeds up your code since your computer doesn't have to recalculate or refetch any values every time the function is called.
I've been using pyglet for a while now and I really like it. I've got one thing I'd like to do but have been unable to do so far, however.
I'm working on a 2D roleplaying game and I'd like the characters to be able to look different - that is to say, I wouldn't like use completely prebuilt sprites, but instead I'd like there to be a range of, say, hairstyles and equipment, visible on characters in the game.
So to get this thing working, I thought the most sensible way to go on about it would be to create a texture with pyglet.image.Texture.create() and blit the correct sprite source images on that texture using Texture.blit_into. For example, I could blit a naked human image on the texture, then blit a hair texture on that, etc.
human_base = pyglet.image.load('x/human_base.png').get_image_data()
hair_style = pyglet.image.load('x/human_hair1.png').get_image_data()
texture = pyglet.image.Texture.create(width=human_base.width,height=human_base.height)
texture.blit_into(human_base, x=0, y=0, z=0)
texture.blit_into(hair_style, x=0, y=0, z=1)
sprite = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(img=texture, x=0, y=0, batch=my_sprite_batch)
The problem is that blitting the second image into the texture "overwrites" the texture already blitted in. Even though both of the images have an alpha channel, the image below (human_base) is not visible after hair_style is blit on top of it.
One reading this may be wondering why do it this way instead of, say, creating two different pyglet.sprite.Sprite objects, one for human_base and one for hair_style and just move them together. One thing is the draw ordering: the game is tile-based and isometric, so sorting a visible object consisting of multiple sprites with differing layers (or ordered groups, as pyglet calls them) would be a major pain.
So my question is, is there a way to retain alpha when using blit_into with pyglet. If there is no way to do it, please, any suggestions for alternative ways to go on about this would be very much appreciated!
setting the blend function correctly should fix this:
pyglet.gl.glBlendFunc(pyglet.gl.GL_SRC_ALPHA,pyglet.gl.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA)
I ran into the very same problem and couldn't find a proper solution. Apparently blitting two RGBA images/textures overlapping together will remove the image beneath. Another approache I came up with was using every 'clothing image' on every character as an independent sprite attached to batches and groups, but that was far from the optimal and reduced the FPS dramatically.
I got my own solution by using PIL
import pyglet
from PIL import Image
class main(pyglet.window.Window):
def __init__ (self):
TILESIZE = 32
super(main, self).__init__(800, 600, fullscreen = False)
img1 = Image.open('under.png')
img2 = Image.open('over.png')
img1.paste(img2,(0,0),img2.convert('RGBA'))
img = img1.transpose(Image.FLIP_TOP_BOTTOM)
raw_image=img.tostring()
self.image=pyglet.image.ImageData(TILESIZE,TILESIZE,'RGBA',raw_image)
def run(self):
while not self.has_exit:
self.dispatch_events()
self.clear()
self.image.blit(0,0)
self.flip()
x = main()
x.run()
This may well not be the optimal solution, but if you do the loading in scene loading, then it won't matter, and with the result you can do almost almost anything you want to (as long as you don't blit it on another texture, heh). If you want to get just 1 tile (or a column or a row or a rectangular box) out of a tileset with PIL, you can use the crop function.
