Prerequisites: Pillow(python library)
Padding is the space between the contents, the container, and the border. An image can be considered content to some container and extra padding can be added to it. This article depicts how this can be done. Padding can be added by straightaway supplying the values for the side to be padded. These values can then be passed to the function to create a new image.
Installation
This module is not preloaded with Python. So to install it execute the following command in the command-line:
pip install pillow
Approach
- Import module
- Open image
- Set values for padding
- Set different dimensions for image
- Pass the padding values to the image
- Save new image
Input Image:
Program :
Python3
from PIL import Image image = Image.open("input.jpg") right = 100left = 100top = 100bottom = 100 width, height = image.size new_width = width + right + left new_height = height + top + bottom result = Image.new(image.mode, (new_width, new_height), (0, 0, 255)) result.paste(image, (left, top)) result.save('output.jpg') |
Output:
The output generated is just the input image with a padding added to it. Here it appears as a border, since the values given for each side were equal. For different values non-uniform padding can be observed.
