:py:mod:`~PIL.ImageDraw` Module
===============================

The :py:mod:`~PIL.ImageDraw` module provides simple 2D graphics for
:py:class:`~PIL.Image.Image` objects.  You can use this module to create new
images, annotate or retouch existing images, and to generate graphics on the
fly for web use.

For a more advanced drawing library for PIL, see the `aggdraw module`_.

.. _aggdraw module: https://github.com/pytroll/aggdraw

Example: Draw a gray cross over an image
----------------------------------------

.. code-block:: python

    from PIL import Image, ImageDraw

    with Image.open("hopper.jpg") as im:

        draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
        draw.line((0, 0) + im.size, fill=128)
        draw.line((0, im.size[1], im.size[0], 0), fill=128)

        # write to stdout
        im.save(sys.stdout, "PNG")


Concepts
--------

Coordinates
^^^^^^^^^^^

The graphics interface uses the same coordinate system as PIL itself, with (0,
0) in the upper left corner. Any pixels drawn outside of the image bounds will
be discarded.

Colors
^^^^^^

To specify colors, you can use numbers or tuples just as you would use with
:py:meth:`PIL.Image.new` or :py:meth:`PIL.Image.Image.putpixel`. For “1”,
“L”, and “I” images, use integers. For “RGB” images, use a 3-tuple containing
integer values. For “F” images, use integer or floating point values.

For palette images (mode “P”), use integers as color indexes. In 1.1.4 and
later, you can also use RGB 3-tuples or color names (see below). The drawing
layer will automatically assign color indexes, as long as you don’t draw with
more than 256 colors.

Color Names
^^^^^^^^^^^

See :ref:`color-names` for the color names supported by Pillow.

Fonts
^^^^^

PIL can use bitmap fonts or OpenType/TrueType fonts.

Bitmap fonts are stored in PIL’s own format, where each font typically consists
of two files, one named .pil and the other usually named .pbm. The former
contains font metrics, the latter raster data.

To load a bitmap font, use the load functions in the :py:mod:`~PIL.ImageFont`
module.

To load a OpenType/TrueType font, use the truetype function in the
:py:mod:`~PIL.ImageFont` module. Note that this function depends on third-party
libraries, and may not available in all PIL builds.

Example: Draw Partial Opacity Text
----------------------------------

.. code-block:: python

    from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
    # get an image
    with Image.open("Pillow/Tests/images/hopper.png").convert("RGBA") as base:

        # make a blank image for the text, initialized to transparent text color
        txt = Image.new("RGBA", base.size, (255,255,255,0))

        # get a font
        fnt = ImageFont.truetype("Pillow/Tests/fonts/FreeMono.ttf", 40)
        # get a drawing context
        d = ImageDraw.Draw(txt)

        # draw text, half opacity
        d.text((10,10), "Hello", font=fnt, fill=(255,255,255,128))
        # draw text, full opacity
        d.text((10,60), "World", font=fnt, fill=(255,255,255,255))

        out = Image.alpha_composite(base, txt)

        out.show()

Example: Draw Multiline Text
----------------------------

.. code-block:: python

    from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont

    # create an image
    out = Image.new("RGB", (150, 100), (255, 255, 255))

    # get a font
    fnt = ImageFont.truetype("Pillow/Tests/fonts/FreeMono.ttf", 40)
    # get a drawing context
    d = ImageDraw.Draw(out)

    # draw multiline text
    d.multiline_text((10,10), "Hello\nWorld", font=fnt, fill=(0, 0, 0))

    out.show()


Functions
---------

.. py:method:: Draw(im, mode=None)

    Creates an object that can be used to draw in the given image.

    Note that the image will be modified in place.

    :param im: The image to draw in.
    :param mode: Optional mode to use for color values.  For RGB
        images, this argument can be RGB or RGBA (to blend the
        drawing into the image).  For all other modes, this argument
        must be the same as the image mode.  If omitted, the mode
        defaults to the mode of the image.

Methods
-------

.. py:method:: ImageDraw.getfont()

    Get the current default font.

    :returns: An image font.

.. py:method:: ImageDraw.arc(xy, start, end, fill=None, width=0)

    Draws an arc (a portion of a circle outline) between the start and end
    angles, inside the given bounding box.

    :param xy: Two points to define the bounding box. Sequence of ``[(x0, y0),
        (x1, y1)]`` or ``[x0, y0, x1, y1]``, where ``x1 >= x0`` and ``y1 >=
        y0``.
    :param start: Starting angle, in degrees. Angles are measured from 3
        o'clock, increasing clockwise.

.. py:method:: ImageDraw.bitmap(xy, bitmap, fill=None)

    Draws a bitmap (mask) at the given position, using the current fill color
    for the non-zero portions. The bitmap should be a valid transparency mask
    (mode “1”) or matte (mode “L” or “RGBA”).

                     font features that are not enabled by default,
                     for example ``"dlig"`` or ``"ss01"``, but can be also
                     used to turn off default font features, for
                     example ``"-liga"`` to disable ligatures or ``"-kern"``
                     to disable kerning.  To get all supported

    :param language: Language of the text. Different languages may use
                     different glyph shapes or ligatures. This parameter tells
                     the font which language the text is in, and to apply the
                     correct substitutions as appropriate, if available.

.. py:method:: ImageDraw.textlength(text, font=None, direction=None, features=None, language=None, embedded_color=False)

    Returns length (in pixels with 1/64 precision) of given text when rendered
    in font with provided direction, features, and language.

    This is the amount by which following text should be offset.
    Text bounding box may extend past the length in some fonts,
    e.g. when using italics or accents.

    The result is returned as a float; it is a whole number if using basic layout.

    Note that the sum of two lengths may not equal the length of a concatenated
    string due to kerning. If you need to adjust for kerning, include the following
    character and subtract its length.

    For example, instead of

    .. code-block:: python

        hello = draw.textlength("Hello", font)
        world = draw.textlength("World", font)
        hello_world = hello + world  # not adjusted for kerning
        assert hello_world == draw.textlength("HelloWorld", font)  # may fail

    use

    .. code-block:: python

        hello = draw.textlength("HelloW", font) - draw.textlength("W", font)  # adjusted for kerning
        world = draw.textlength("World", font)
        hello_world = hello + world  # adjusted for kerning
        assert hello_world == draw.textlength("HelloWorld", font)  # True

    or disable kerning with (requires libraqm)

    .. code-block:: python

        hello = draw.textlength("Hello", font, features=["-kern"])
        world = draw.textlength("World", font, features=["-kern"])
        hello_world = hello + world  # kerning is disabled, no need to adjust
        assert hello_world == draw.textlength("HelloWorld", font, features=["-kern"])  # True

    :returns: A (drawing context, drawing resource factory) tuple.

.. py:method:: floodfill(image, xy, value, border=None, thresh=0)

    Fills a bounded region with a given color.

    :param image: Target image.
    :param xy: Seed position (a 2-item coordinate tuple).
    :param value: Fill color.
    :param border: Optional border value.  If given, the region consists of
        pixels with a color different from the border color.  If not given,
        the region consists of pixels having the same color as the seed
        pixel.
    :param thresh: Optional threshold value which specifies a maximum
        tolerable difference of a pixel value from the 'background' in
        order for it to be replaced. Useful for filling regions of non-
        homogeneous, but similar, colors.
