Python PIL | ImagePath.Path.tolist() method

PIL is the Python Imaging Library which provides the python interpreter with image editing capabilities. The ImagePath module is used to store and manipulate 2-dimensional vector data. Path objects can be passed to the methods on the ImageDraw module.

ImagePath.Path.tolist() Converts the path to a Python list [(x, y), …].

Syntax: PIL.ImagePath.Path.tolist(flat=0)

Parameters:

flat – By default, this function returns a list of 2-tuples [(x, y), …]. If this argument is True, it returns a flat list [x, y, …] instead.

Returns: A list of coordinates.

# from PIL importing ImagePath
from PIL import ImagePath

# creating a list to map
getbox = list(zip(range(3, 41, 1), range(11, 22, 2)))
result = ImagePath.Path(getbox)

# using tolist function
a = result.tolist()
print(getbox)
print(a)

Output:

[(3, 11), (4, 13), (5, 15), (6, 17), (7, 19), (8, 21)]
[(3.0, 11.0), (4.0, 13.0), (5.0, 15.0), (6.0, 17.0), (7.0, 19.0), (8.0, 21.0)]

Another Example: changing parameters.

# from PIL importing ImagePath
from PIL import ImagePath

# creating a list to map
getbox = list(zip(range(5, 51, 16), range(15, 22, 4)))
result = ImagePath.Path(getbox)

# using tolist function
a = result.tolist()
print(getbox)
print(a)

Output:

[(5, 15), (21, 19)]
[(5.0, 15.0), (21.0, 19.0)]
