PIL is the Python Imaging Library which provides the python interpreter with image editing capabilities. The Image module provides a class with the same name which is used to represent a PIL image. The module also provides a number of factory functions, including functions to load images from files, and to create new images.
Image.convert() Returns a converted copy of this image. For the “P” mode, this method translates pixels through the palette. If mode is omitted, a mode is chosen so that all information in the image and the palette can be represented without a palette.
Syntax: Image.convert(mode=None, matrix=None, dither=None, palette=0, colors=256)
Parameters:
mode – The requested mode. See: Modes.
matrix – An optional conversion matrix. If given, this should be 4- or 12-tuple containing floating point values.
dither – Dithering method, used when converting from mode “RGB” to “P” or from “RGB” or “L” to “1”. Available methods are NONE or FLOYDSTEINBERG (default).
palette – Palette to use when converting from mode “RGB” to “P”. Available palettes are WEB or ADAPTIVE.
colors – Number of colors to use for the ADAPTIVE palette. Defaults to 256.Returns: An Image object.
Image Used:
