imread: Image reading library
Project description
================================
mahotas-imread: Read Image Files
================================
Mahotas-imread is a simple module with a small number of functions:
imread
Reads an image file
imread_multi
Reads an image file with multiple images. Currently, TIFF and STK (a TIFF
sub-based format) support this function.
imsave
Writes an image file
Example (which uses `mahotas <http://luispedro.org/software/mahotas>`__ for
Gaussian filtering)::
from imread import imread, imsave
from mahotas import gaussian_filter
lena = imread('lena.jpeg')
lena = gaussian_filter(lena.astype(float), 4.)
imsave('lena-filtered.jpeg', lena)
This grew out of frustration at current image loading solutions in Python, in
either my packages [`mahotas <http://mahotas.rtfd.org>`__] or packages from
others [`scikit-image <http://scikit-image.org/>`__, for example].
The relationship with numpy is very contained and this could be easily
repurposed to load images in other frameworks, even other programming
languages.

Dependencies
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To compile on debian/ubuntu::
sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libwebp-dev
sudo apt-get install xcftools
To compile on Mac::
sudo port install libpng tiff webp
Either way, you can then compile with::
python setup.py build
and install with::
python setup.py install
On Windows, you can also just download a pre-built package from `C. Gohlke's
repository <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#imread>`__

Travis Build Status
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/luispedro/imread.png
:target: https://travis-ci.org/luispedro/imread
Python versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4 are officially supported.
Python 3.2 (and earlier versions in the Python 3 series) are officially **not
supported**. Patches will be accepted if they do not mess up anything else, but
bug reports will not be considered.
