Py5Graphics.get_np_pixels()#

Get the contents of Py5Graphics.np_pixels[] as a numpy array.

Examples#

example picture for get_np_pixels()

import numpy as np

def setup():
    py5.background(128)
    g = py5.create_graphics(80, 80)
    with g.begin_draw():
        g.background(0)
        g.fill(128)
        for i in range(5, 66, 10):
            g.rect(i, i, 8, 8)
        array = g.get_np_pixels(bands='RGB')
        array[:, :, 0] = np.linspace(0, 255, num=g.width, dtype=np.uint8)
        g.set_np_pixels(array, bands='RGB')
    py5.image(g, 10, 10)

Description#

Get the contents of Py5Graphics.np_pixels[] as a numpy array. The returned numpy array can be the entirety of Py5Graphics.np_pixels[] or a rectangular subsection. Use the x, y, h, and w parameters to specify the bounds of a rectangular subsection.

The bands parameter is used to determine the ordering of the returned numpy array’s color channel. It can be one of 'L' (single-channel grayscale), 'ARGB', 'RGB', or 'RGBA'. If the bands parameter is 'L', the returned array will have two dimensions, and each pixel value will be calculated as 0.299 * red + 0.587 * green + 0.114 * blue. The alpha channel will also be ignored. For all other bands parameter values, the returned array will have three dimensions, with the third dimension representing the different color channels specified by the bands value.

The returned array will always be a copy of the data in Py5Graphics.np_pixels[] and not a view into that array or any other array. Use the dst parameter to provide the numpy array to copy the pixel data into. The provided array must be sized correctly. The array’s dtype should np.uint8, but this isn’t required.

This method is the same as get_np_pixels() but linked to a Py5Graphics object.
