Python Wand – An Overview Last Updated : 31 Mar, 2023 Improve Improve Like Article Like Save Share Report The Wand is an Imagick library for python. It supports the functionalities of Imagick API in Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3+, and PyPy.This library not only helps in processing the images but also provides valuable functionalities for Machine Learning codes using NumPy. Installation: By Pip: $ pip install Wand As the wand is an Imagick API, so we require Imagick dependencies. Imagick’s Installation: For Ubuntu/Debian: $ sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev For Mac (By Brew Installer) $ brew install imagemagick Installation of MacPorts $ sudo port install imagemagick Note: If Python is not installed using MacPorts, we need to export MAGICK_HOME. $ export MAGICK_HOME=/opt/local Example 1: Reading an Image: Input Image: geeksforgeeks.png # Import library from the wand from wand.image import Image # Import the image with Image(filename ='geeksforgeeks.png') as pic: # Read the image to fetch actual dimensions print('Width of the image:', pic.width) print('Height of the image:', pic.height) Output: ('Width of the image:', 667L) ('Height of the image:', 184L) Example 2: Blur an Image: # Import library from the wand from wand.image import Image # Import the image with Image(filename ="geeksforgeeks.png") as pic: # Invoke blur function with radius 0 and sigma 3 pic.blur(radius = 0, sigma = 3) # save the processed iamge pic.save(filename ="blur1.png") Output: Example 3: Transfer the image # Import library from the wand from wand.image import Image # Import the image with Image(filename ='geeksforgeeks.png') as image: # Clone the image in order to process with image.clone() as flip: # Invoke flip function flip.flip() # Save the image flip.save(filename ='flip-geeksforgeeks.jpg') Output: Example 4: Drawing: # Import libraries from the wand from wand.image import Image from wand.drawing import Drawing from wand.color import Color with Drawing() as draw: # Set Stroke color the circle to black draw.stroke_color = Color('black') # Set Width of the circlw to 2 draw.stroke_width = 2 # Set the fill color to 'White (# FFFFFF)' draw.fill_color = Color('white') # Invoke Circle function with center # at 200, 200 and radius 100 draw.circle((200, 200), # Center point (100, 100)) # Perimeter point with Image(width = 400, height = 400, background = Color('lightgreen')) as pic: draw(pic) pic.save(filename ='circle1.jpg') Output: References: http://docs.wand-py.org/en/0.5.9/index.html Like Article Suggest improvement Next Wand posterize() function - Python Share your thoughts in the comments Add Your Comment Please Login to comment...
