The splice() function is an inbuilt function in the Python Wand ImageMagick library which is used to partition the image by splicing a width x height rectangle at (x, y) offset coordinate. The space inserted will be replaced by the available background color.
Syntax:
splice(width, height, x, y)Parameters: This function accepts four parameters as mentioned above and defined below:
- width: This parameter stores the width of the rectangle.
- height: This parameter stores the height of the recangle.
- x: This parameter stores the offset on the x-axis.
- y: This parameter stores the offset on the y-axis.
Return Value: This function returns the Wand ImageMagick object.

Example 1:
# Import library from Image 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 splice: # Invoke splice function with height as 20, width as 20, x as 10, y as 10 splice.splice( 20 , 20 , 10 , 10 ) # Save the image splice.save(filename = 'splice1.jpg' ) |
Output:
Example 2:
# 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 = 1 # Set the fill color to 'White (# FFFFFF)' draw.fill_color = Color( 'white' ) # Invoke Circle function with center at 50, 50 and radius 25 draw.circle(( 200 , 200 ), # Center point ( 100 , 100 )) # Perimeter point # Set the font style draw.font = '../Helvetica.ttf' # Set the font size draw.font_size = 30 with Image(width = 400 , height = 400 , background = Color( '# 45ff33' )) as pic: # Set the text and its location draw.text( int (pic.width / 3 ), int (pic.height / 2 ), 'GeeksForGeeks !' ) # Draw the picture draw(pic) # Invoke splice function with height as 10, width as 10, x as 15, y as 20 pic.splice( 10 , 10 , 15 , 20 ) # Save the image pic.save(filename = 'splice2.jpg' ) |
