Method Details

getDepth()

source code 
Get the pixel depth of this image. [8,16,24,32,128 for 32bit float images]
Returns: int

getPixelHDR(x, y)

source code 
Get the the colors of the current pixel in the form [r,g,b,a]. For float image types, returned values can be greater then the useual [0.0, 1.0] range. Pixel coordinates are in the range from 0 to N-1. See getMaxXY
Parameters:
  • x (int) - the x coordinate of pixel.
  • y (int) - the y coordinate of pixel.
Returns: list of 4 floats
[ r, g, b, a]

getPixelF(x, y)

source code 
Get the the colors of the current pixel in the form [r,g,b,a]. Returned values are floats normalized to 0.0 - 1.0. Pixel coordinates are in the range from 0 to N-1. See getMaxXY
Parameters:
  • x (int) - the x coordinate of pixel.
  • y (int) - the y coordinate of pixel.
Returns: list of 4 floats
[ r, g, b, a]

getPixelI(x, y)

source code 
Get the the colors of the current pixel in the form [r,g,b,a]. Returned values are ints normalized to 0 - 255. Pixel coordinates are in the range from 0 to N-1. See getMaxXY
Parameters:
  • x (int) - the x coordinate of pixel.
  • y (int) - the y coordinate of pixel.
Returns: list of 4 ints
[ r, g, b, a]

getMaxXY()

source code 
Get the x & y size for the image. Image coordinates range from 0 to size-1.
Returns: list of 2 ints
[x, y]

getMinXY()

source code 
Get the x & y origin for the image. Image coordinates range from 0 to size-1.
Returns: list of 2 ints
[x, y]

getXRep()

source code 
Get the number of repetitions in the x (horizontal) axis for this Image. This is for texture tiling.
Returns: int

getYRep()

source code 
Get the number of repetitions in the y (vertical) axis for this Image. This is for texture tiling.
Returns: int

getBindCode()

source code 
Get the Image's bindcode. This is for texture loading using BGL calls. See, for example, BGL.glBindTexture and glLoad.
Returns: int

getStart()

source code 
Get the Image's start frame. Used for animated textures.
Returns: int

getEnd()

source code 
Get the Image's end frame. Used for animated textures.
Returns: int

getSpeed()

source code 
Get the Image's speed (fps). Used for animated textures.
Returns: int

reload()

source code 
Reloads this image from the filesystem. If used within a loop you need to redraw the Window to see the change in the image, e.g. with Window.RedrawAll().
Returns:
None

Warning: if the image file is corrupt or still being written, it will be replaced by a blank image in Blender, but no error will be returned.

updateDisplay()

source code 
Update the display image from the floating point buffer (if it exists)
Returns:
None

glLoad()

source code 
Load this image's data into OpenGL texture memory, if it is not already loaded (image.bindcode is 0 if it is not loaded yet).
Returns: int
the texture's bind code.

Note: Usually you don't need to call this method. It is only necessary if you want to draw textured objects in the Scripts window and the image's bind code is zero at that moment, otherwise Blender itself can take care of binding / unbinding textures. Calling this method for an image with nonzero bind code simply returns the image's bind code value (see getBindCode).

glFree()

source code 
Delete this image's data from OpenGL texture memory, only (the image itself is not removed from Blender's memory). Internally, glDeleteTextures (see BGL.glDeleteTextures) is used, but this method also updates Blender's Image object so that its bind code is set to 0. See also Image.glLoad, Image.getBindCode.

setName(name)

source code 
Set the name of this Image object.
Parameters:
  • name (string) - The new name.

setFilename(name)

source code 
Change the filename of this Image object.
Parameters:
  • name (string) - The new full filename.

Warning: use this with caution and note that the filename is truncated if larger than 160 characters.

setXRep(xrep)

source code 
Texture tiling: set the number of x repetitions for this Image.
Parameters:
  • xrep (int) - The new value in [1, 16].

setYRep(yrep)

source code 
Texture tiling: set the number of y repetitions for this Image.
Parameters:
  • yrep (int) - The new value in [1, 16].

setStart(start)

source code 
Get the Image's start frame. Used for animated textures.
Parameters:
  • start (int) - The new value in [0, 128].

setEnd(end)

source code 
Set the Image's end frame. Used for animated textures.
Parameters:
  • end (int) - The new value in [0, 128].

setSpeed(speed)

source code 
Set the Image's speed (fps). Used for animated textures.
Parameters:
  • speed (int) - The new value in [1, 100].

setPixelHDR(x, y, (r, g, b, a))

source code 
Set the the colors of the current pixel in the form [r,g,b,a]. For float image types, returned values can be greater then the useual [0.0, 1.0] range. Pixel coordinates are in the range from 0 to N-1. See getMaxXY
Returns: none
nothing

setPixelF(x, y, (r, g, b, a))

source code 
Set the the colors of the current pixel in the form [r,g,b,a]. Color values must be floats in the range 0.0 - 1.0. Pixel coordinates are in the range from 0 to N-1. See getMaxXY
Returns: none
nothing

setPixelI(x, y, (r, g, b, a))

source code 
Set the the colors of the current pixel in the form [r,g,b,a]. Color values must be ints in the range 0 - 255. Pixel coordinates are in the range from 0 to N-1. See getMaxXY
Returns: none
nothing

save()

source code 
Saves the current image to filename
Returns:
None
Notes:
  • Saving to a directory that doent exist will raise an error.
  • Saving a packed image will make a unique (numbered) name if the file alredy exists. Remove the file first to be sure it will not be renamed.

pack()

source code 

Packs the image into the current blend file.

Since 2.44 new images without valid filenames can be packed.

If the image is alredy packed, it will be repacked.
Returns: none
nothing

unpack(mode)

source code 
Unpacks the image to the images filename.
Parameters:
Returns: none
nothing

Note: An error will be raised if the image is not packed or the filename path does not exist.

makeCurrent()

source code 
Set the currently displayed Image from Blenders UV/Image window. When multiple images are displayed, the last active UV/Image windows image is used.
Returns: bool
True if the current image could be set, if no window was available, return False.

Warning: Deprecated, set bpy.data.images.active = image instead.


Instance Variable Details

depth

The pixel depth of the image, read only. [8, 16, 18, 24, 32, 128 (for 32bit float color channels)]
Type:
int

fakeUser

When set to True, this datablock wont be removed, even if nothing is using it. All data has this disabled by default except for Actions.
Type:
bool

lib

path to the blend file this datablock is stored in (readonly).

lib will be None unless you are using external blend files with (File, Append/Link)

Note: the path may be relative, to get the full path use Blender.sys.expandpath
Type:
string or None

name

unique name within each blend file.

The name is case sensitive and 21 characters maximum length.

Note: a blend file may have naming collisions when external library data is used, be sure to check the value of lib.

Note: Setting a value longer then 21 characters will be shortened
Type:
string

source

Image source type. See the Sources dictionary .
Type:
int

tag

A temporary tag that to flag data as being used within a loop. always set all tags to True or False before using since blender uses this flag for its own internal operations.
Type:
bool

users

The number of users this datablock has. (readonly) Zero user datablocks are de-allocated after reloading and saving.
Type:
int

xrep

Texture tiling: the number of repetitions in the x (horizontal) axis. [1, 16].
